Bears selected Baylor RB Trestan Ebner with the No. 203 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
A five-year contributor, Ebner (5'11/206) only carried the ball 343 times in total during his time in Waco, but he amassed a 127-1,515-11 career receiving line with at least 20 receptions every season and has three kick return touchdowns on his resume. He ran an excellent 4.43 40 at the Combine, but he posted a 30-inch vertical in Indy, a 9-foot-7 broad at his Pro Day, and struggled in agility drills. Despite his rushing production increasing last year, Ebner’s path to playing time in the NFL will be as the pass-catching half of a backfield committee, but he will likely need to improve as a blocker to get that chance. The good news is his ability as a returner should earn him a roster spot and some time to develop.
