When your edge rush position could use as much competition and depth as possible, you’ll seek every opportunity to add talent. That’s exactly what the Bears did when they were among the six NFL teams that attended the Pro Day of former Oregon State outside linebacker Bright Ugwoegbu on Thursday, reports Pro Football Talk.
The 22-year-old Ugwoegbu was set to return to Oregon State for his senior season, but was suspended indefinitely in April due to undisclosed reasons. That prompted Ugwoegbu to bet on himself and declare for the NFL’s supplemental draft, typically held in July.
