Chicago Bears Sign Georgia Southern WR/KR Derek Keaton as Undrafted Free Agent

At least one more Georgia Southern Eagles standout will get a shot at the NFL thanks to a late signing by the Chicago Bears.

Wide receiver/kick returner Derek Keaton was thrown a lifeline by the Bears Monday afternoon, which is welcome news for Eagle Nation.

#Bears signed Georgia Southern WR/KR Derek Keaton to a contract as a UDFA. He received a $3K signing bonus.
