Cincinnati receiver Tyler Scott makes a catch in October.

It didn’t take Cincinnati receiver Tyler Scott long to rattle off the names of Bears greats.

The converted running back used to watch Gale Sayers footage. Dick Butkus was one of his dad’s favorite players. His dad, as it turns out, looks so much like Mike Singletary that people stop him and ask if he’s the former Bears linebacker.

He leaned into Bears history after they took him in Round 4 Saturday.

“I just wanted to be a part of something great like that,” he said.
