Chicago Bears make surprise move at wide receiver

Walker gained a lot of fans on Friday night when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Tyson Bagent during the Bears’ 29-27 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Texas A&M Aggies product recorded eight receptions for 98 yards and two touchdowns during the preseason.

Walker played two years at Grand Valley State before transferring to Texas A&M. He recorded 64 receptions for 935 yards and four touchdowns during his two seasons with the Aggies.

On Monday, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle praised Walker for his work during the preseason.

‘There are certain guys that walk outside for practice and it’s like a kid going to recess,” Doyle said “They can’t freaking wait to get rolling and Jahdae is that way… Jahdae loves football. He showed up in that last drive (at KC) and the play he made on our sideline was one of the better catches that I’ve seen.

“He’s just a guy that has worked every day. He embodies the kind of love that you want for football on our team.”

Walker’s hard work paid off as the Bears are keeping him on the team.

Walker is joining a stacked receiver room with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luther Burden III on the 53-man roster
