Chicago Bears wide receiver Jakeem Grant was an absolute force during his college days with Texas Tech. However, that success has yet to really translate to the professional level -- at the very least from a wide receiver perspective.
At 5-foot-7, Grant is still as athletic as they come and can take it the distance on any given play. The Green Bay Packers found that out early and often during Sunday night’s game at Lambeau Field.
First off, Grant caught a 46-yard touchdown strike from Justin Fields to put Chicago up 10-0 early in the second quarter.
Not to be outdone, Grant scored his second touchdown in the first half via an absurd 97-yard punt return late in the second quarter. It was electric.
Talk about great vision and change of direction before Grant put on the after burners to go the distance and give Chicago what was then a 10-point lead.
By virtue of this return, Grant had tallied 177 all-purpose yards in the first half alone. That’s just insane.
