Chicago Bears: Initial undrafted free agent haul proves direction of team

Punter

Ryan Winslow, Pittsburgh

Before you think Pat O’Donnell has any competition whatsoever, think again. Ryan Winslow will merely be a camp body to potentially push O’Donnell just a little bit more and offer the team another punter who can do a few things differently.

Winslow doesn’t have anywhere near the leg strength of O’Donnell, but oddly enough, he can throw the ball. In fact, he’s thrown a touchdown pass in his career. He’s also completed a pass on another fake punt.

The fact that he doesn’t possess the strength necessary as a pro is ultimately going to be his demise, but he will give the Bears different looks in camp and will be of use over the summer.
