Bears undrafted rookie receiver Jahdae Walker dropped two passes in warmups before the biggest opportunity of his young NFL career Saturday.
He was thrilled.
Dropping pregame passes has always portended good things for him, whether at Grand Valley State, Texas A&M or the preseason this year, when he became a training camp darling.
“It’s going to be a good game for me,” he said.
He was right. On fourth-and-four at the Packers’ 6 with 28 seconds to play, he caught a touchdown in the back right corner of the end zone to put the Bears within an extra point of tying a game they’d eventually win in overtime.
