One of the more interesting storylines of the 2019 NFL draft was a few punters and kickers going higher than expected. The top two kickers did not get to the Bears sixth-round picks. So, despite being committed to getting the kicker position right, the Chicago Bears were not able to draft their man.
However, they hope to find their next kicker in UDFA and signed John Baron from San Diego State to fill the void.
Barron is an interesting pick who has some deep ball qualities, which is something Ryan Pace noted he would look for.
