Yannick Ngakoue on Bears Contract: 'I Was Always Meant to Be a Chicago Bear'

New Chicago Bears defensive end Yannick Ngakoue told reporters Saturday that he feels he was meant to play in the Windy City.

"I feel like it was meant for me to be here," Ngakoue said, per Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune.

"I actually have a bear tatted on my hand. I feel like that was a sign to me that I was always meant to be a Chicago Bear."

Ngakoue inked a one-year deal with the Bears on Friday. Head coach Matt Eberflus explained how he sees using him going forward.
