Bears selected Tennessee State OT Lachavious Simmons with the No. 227 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Simmons (6'5/315) is an off-board pick out of the Ohio Valley Conference. In addition to the daunting competition leap, Simmons will also be old for a rookie, turning 24 in September. The Bears have pursued a hunch and will hope it pays off with practice squad progression.
