The Deer Park, Ill., native surprisingly went undrafted in May but was fortunate to sign with his hometown team. Sanborn recorded seven solo tackles in his debut with the Bears, in addition to an interception, fumble recovery and pass defended. The interception was a result of a phenomenal read from the former Badger, who then beat the intended receiver to the ball to make the pick.

It is great to see Sanborn proving those who chose not to draft him wrong so early in his professional career, despite him playing for the rival Chicago Bears.
