Jahdae Walker faces an uphill battle trying to make an NFL roster as an undrafted rookie. In his NFL preseason debut, Walker made a case for why he’s deserving of an opportunity.
In preseason action for the Chicago Bears against the Miami Dolphins, Walker was the team’s leading receiver, recording 3 catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. The TD called for his classic “Jubi Slide” celebration, a hit with NFL fans.
According to Bears insider Adam Jahns, Sunday’s performance capped what has been a strong week for Walker.
That touchdown catch by Bears WR Jahdae Walker, an undrafted rookie, caps a great week for him. It started during Tuesday's physical practice. He's made plays.

Walker knows all about having to prove himself. His college career began at Division II Grand Valley State. After 2 seasons, he made the jump to DI, landing at Texas A&M. In 2 seasons with the Aggies, Walker played in all 26 games, collecting 935 receiving yards on 64 receptions with 4 touchdowns.
Up next, the Chicago Bears host the Buffalo Bills for their next preseason contest. We’ll see if Walker can turn in another strong performance and continue his push for a spot in the receiver rotation.
