The Chicago Bears and general manager Ryan Pace finished the 2020 NFL Draft with a pair of back-to-back draft picks in the seventh round, selecting offensive linemen Arlington Hambright from Colorado and Lachavious Simmons from Tennessee State.
Hambright and Lachavious, picked with the 226th and 227th picks respectively, will compete for roster spots on the offensive line. Hambright worked his way up from junior college to Oklahoma State before transferring to Colorado. Simmons, meanwhile, played 12 games last season for Tennessee State in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
While they’re both seventh-round picks, fans had their opinions on the Bears’ final draft selections, including feedback on their unique names.
Doing a little bit of research on Hambright, he apparently did 2 years Juco, then redshirted 2017 and started 1st 6 games at Oklahoma State in 2018 before getting hurt. Injury led to him losing his job, so he did grad transfer to Colorado and was starting LT all year.

Somebody pull up the quote where Pace said he would draft a QB every year…🤣

Tennessee State has been known to deliver for the Bears in the late rounds of the NFL Draft. https://t.co/mxwBG4kCV0

Lachavious Simmons (Chicago Bears, 7th Round, No. 227) is the first Tennessee State #NFLDraft pick since 2015, but the school's fifth offensive lineman to be selected since 2014 (the Tigers had two each in 2014 and '15).
