The Bears think quarterback Tyson Bagent is special.
To do well, he’ll have to be.
Bagent will become just the 64th undrafted rookie quarterback to start a game since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger when he takes the field against the Raiders on Sunday.
He’s in his age-23 season. Only three undrafted rookies have ever started at a younger age, and they each started one game each. The Bears likely need Bagent to start longer than a week with Justin Fields out with a dislocated thumb.
