6 Bears Whose Stock Has Fallen Ahead of Training Camp

5. Tyler Scott, WR

One consequence of an improving roster is that promising players often get put on the bubble. That's what's happened to second-year wideout Tyler Scott. A fourth-round pick from Cincinnati, Scott had 168 yards on 17 receptions and added 41 yards on seven rushing attempts during his rookie campaign.

In addition to his work on the base offense, Scott had five kick returns for 108 yards. That was just an average of 21.6 yards per return but it was just another example of his versatility. He also played on the coverage units.

As he enters his second season, he finds himself pushed down the depth chart. The addition of Rome Odunze in the draft and Keenan Allen in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers means Scott will be the No. 4 wide receiver — at best.

He should have the inside track but Velus Jones, Jr., Dante Pettis, and DeAndre Carter will all fight for the spot with him. They're also all capable of helping in the return game, taking that potential advantage away from Scott.

Scott is a solid route runner who put up 899 yards and nine touchdowns on 54 receptions during his junior campaign in 2022. For his three-year collegiate career, he averaged 16.5 yards per reception, and the Bears were hopeful he could stretch the field. Ideally, he will stick around and continue to develop, but there are some questions, and his stock isn't as high as it was this time a year ago.
