Following the news of Friday’s kicker workout, word is out that the Bears have signed one of those kickers, Redford Jones, from the University of Tulsa.
His sports agency broke the news.
Redford kicked collegiately at the University of Tulsa for the Golden Hurricane. The Sun-Times reports that he was 50 of 67 on field goals and 169 of 172 extra points between 2015 and 2017.
Jones has never been on an NFL roster and will be a rookie.
He was signed over higher profile tryout players including former Vikings and Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh and former Cowboys, Jets and Buccaneers kicker Nick Folk.
