After days of uncertainty of wondering who the Chicago Bears would sign at the wide receiver position, we finally have an answer. The team reportedly has agreed to a deal with former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, first reported by Aaron Wilson.
St. Brown was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was one of three notable receivers the Packers ended up with following that draft, including Marquez Valdes-Scantling, drafted a round earlier, and Allen Lazard, who was signed as an undrafted free agent later in the season.
The receiver out of Notre Dame had a decent rookie campaign, totaling 328 yards on 21 receptions. Injuries stunted his development, however, and St. Brown fell down the depth chart in favor of players like Valdes-Scantling and Lazard. He had just 215 receiving yards over the last two seasons and now joins the Bears as a possible depth option in a wide-open receiving room.
Though there are still some unknowns about this deal, here’s how we’re grading the initial signing of St. Brown.
