LOL. That dude is stiff as hell. He stands straight up like someone who has lower back issues and needs to stretch out. I see why he wasn’t drafted.

Moss was Caleb's backup at USC.

I can see where he develops enough on the practice squad to take Bagent's place. If not, we try again.

No long speed some happy feet but love the quickness in his cuts. Practice squad candidate.

Why didn't this guy get drafted? I see him handling double teams and staying at the LOS, sometimes splitting them to make the tackle. He's got some knock-back power in 1v1 to push the pocket. Can get off the blocks push/pull to get after the QB, and enough agility to handle stunts. He's like Billings except he can actually run. Seems like a dude who can develop into a rotational depth player. Even in the highlights I can see some plays where he's slow off the LOS and looks fatigued. I'm sure there are some other deficiencies but still seems like a guy some team would take a flier on in the 7th Rd. I see him earning a spot on the practice squad.

Like you said, he looks like Billings that can move. One year in the pros as they build his body , he could become a rotational starter. The 3 DTs they brought in Gallimore-Street-Lynch, depending on how they play will determine what rookies make the 53. Every where James Lynch has been praised. He was never a big snap guy so he doesnt have big stats but his last year in college he had 41 Ts-14.5 TFL-13.5 Ss- 5 PDs-3 FFs. Those are insane numbers for a DT. I dont know if he wasnt in the right scheme but he may surprise fans. When Billings came here, he was a low grade signing but produced for two years and fell off last year.

Squirrel can play. I watched some highlights. He caught a lot of contested, under thrown, balls

From everything I have looked at, it appears to me Squirrel White, Jayden Loving and Caden Bennett have a chance to make the 53 man roster. Several others could land on the practice squad. This is area that Poles has had some success.

The Vanilla Gorilla? https://bearswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bears/2026/04/27/bears-signed-six-top-undrafted-free-agents-caden-barnett/89820082007/

Who do you see Squirrel White beating out for a roster spot? Zavion? Bigger, faster, more agile, and more versatile and most importantly does not always go down the first time someone touches him. Khalif Raymond who already knows Ben Johnson's offense?

Who do you see Caden Bennett beating out? Newman? McFadden? Bradbury? Both played well when called upon last year and a year of experience in this offense is a big help for them. I don't see a rookie UDFA from a small school beating either out.

Jayden Loving might have a shot since our DT depth after Gallimore is so weak. Street reportedly had some decent years under Dennis Allen but nobody here is counting on him. If Loving can show some positional versatility (i.e. line up some at DE) he might wiggle his way onto the 53. We have a lot of risk at DE until Dayo and Turner return from injury. Of course Van den Berg is also a pretty good athlete. If we don't sign a FA DE this is something to watch as we head into camp.

Someone needs to make an AI /ChatGPT cartoon of the Vanilla Gorilla and Super Squirrel White. I see T-shirt sales

Whoever the 6th WR may be. Rome-Burden-Raymond-Walker-Thomas and ? They kept 6 last year.

I said they may have a chance, probably the PS. They gave cash to all three, not your normal UDFA. Bennett was a record amount for the bears. 300,000.

That's a great idea, fans buy anything that's cool.

Lot of cash for a UDFA.
