McBride was a 2015 seventh round pick from William & Mary. In his rookie season he caught two passes, one going for a one yard touchdown. However, he spent most of his rookie season and the 2016 season on the teams practice squad.
So what do the Bears see that has them anxious to get him on their roster?
Coming from NFL.com, McBrides’ strengths and weaknesses consisted of good size and an ability to make catches in the air. He has a wide catch radius and can make circus catches. However, he is not a speedster, and is not a proficient route runner, failing to get separation.
