Tyson Bagent explains how Bears WR Jahdae Walker has improved

Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has observed the rapid improvement of rookie wide receiver Jahdae Walker during the training camp. Walker's performance has been noteworthy, especially after he assisted the team in reaching overtime and securing a victory against the Packers. Despite being an undrafted rookie, Walker has shown significant growth.

According to Bagent, Walker's route running has become faster, and he has started playing instinctively rather than being overly analytical. Bagent further highlighted Walker's versatility, noting his ability to adapt to different positions and his exceptional physical attributes such as size, strength, and the ability to catch passes.

With Walker currently on the second-team roster, he is expected to receive more playing time during preseason. While Walker only managed six receptions in the previous season, his impressive progress in training camp suggests he could see an increased role in 2026.
