Cavon Walker has had an interesting path to Chicago Bears’ training camp. Walker was a 215 lb linebacker early in his career at Maryland but suffered an injury and to keep busy, he hit the gym- a lot. Next thing Walker knew, he was 280 lbs and now too big to play linebacker, so Maryland moved him to the defensive line.
Walker doesn’t have a lot of experience with his hand in the dirt, which is why he slipped right out of the draft and on the Chicago Bears radar as a UDFA. Walker is an interesting case and it will be interesting to see where the Bears plan to use him.
