INDIANAPOLIS — The top safety in this year’s draft was listing off his favorite NFL players at the position when he came upon a name familiar to Bears fans.
“Kevin Byard,” Ohio State safety Caleb Downs said at the NFL Scouting Combine. “His film this year was crazy.”
The Bears want Byard back after he was named first-team all-pro and led the NFL with seven interceptions last year. They plan on engaging with him on contract talks in the coming days. Despite being 32, he could fetch a two-year deal around $20 million.
