Chicago Bears have a gem in Duke Shelley

When the Chicago Bears selected Duke Shelley from Kansas State there was a collective “who” that came from the pick. Shelley was not a combine invite, and was not on the radar of anyone, as you could not find a draft profile on him.

However, after taking the time to look into Shelley, it becomes apparent why teams do the work that they do. They have all of their bases covered, and the Chicago Bears may have found a player who slipped between the cracks.

To start, Shelley is not big. He played on the outside at Kansas State, but he is shorter and weighs less than Bryce Callahan did when he was coming out of college.
