Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Kaden Davis and why did the Chicago Bears sign him?
Kaden Davis is a wide receiver and return man who most recently played for the Houston Gamblers in the UFL, where he produced 10 returns for 275 yards. The Bears signed him to provide depth in the return game, potentially allowing Zavion Thomas and Kalif Raymond to focus more on offensive duties.
Who was the Chicago Bears last big training camp fan favorite?
Jahdae Walker, an undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M, was the most recent Bears training camp fan favorite. He went on to catch one of the most important touchdowns in franchise history against the Green Bay Packers.
Where did Kaden Davis play college football?
Davis played at Butler Community College before transferring to Northwest Missouri State, a Division II school, where he passed up an opportunity at Kansas State to earn a full scholarship. He had 700 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior there.
Why might Zavion Thomas not handle full-time return duties for the Bears?
Thomas reportedly impressed coaches so much during OTAs and minicamps that the Bears may widen their offensive plans to include him more, which would limit his availability as a full-time returner. That opened the door for Davis to come in and provide return game depth.
What has Kaden Davis done in the UFL?
Davis had 416 total yards and two touchdowns in just five games for the Michigan Panthers in 2023, and later joined the Houston Gamblers where he recorded 10 returns for 275 yards. His UFL production is a big reason the Bears took interest in him.
