Duck did not make the Bears practice squad. Hayes made the Jaguars.

My friend told me that teams usually lean towards a draft pick and if they take the undrafted player then that player was lights out both on special teams and on their side of the ball. Remember when I mentioned the numbers game and the Bears picked a 6'2 CB in the 7th round this year? They kept that guy. It is all about your tools. If you are small you have to really stand out and dominate. It is just how it is.
I feel pretty good about what my buddy with NFL connections tells me. He said Hayes was better and he made it. Said Duck was 50/50 to make Bears at best and he ended up being right. Duck can go to XFL and ball out though. I bet he would dominate there. He said we would likely not have a draft pick at all because Moore's injury was worse than reported. All of that ended up being dead on the money.
If anyone has a question about our class this year just ask and I'll ask him. I do know before he said Johnson, Fehr, Thomas, Franklin, and Gaither are getting strong looks and Gaither is our top rated guy as of August.
