Chicago Bears Ten Best UDFA additions

9. Clifton Duck, CB, Appalachian State

Clifton Duck is an intriguing prospect who has a chance to make the roster in the slot. He is a three-year starter from App State and put up 12 career interceptions, five coming as a freshman. Duck was insanely productive from an early age and was hardly tested by his final season.

However, he is stands under 5’10” and weighed about 180 pounds. He is pigeonholed into the slot in the NFL. While he dominated his competition and shows to be an instinctive player, he is also a bit slower, and ran a 4.64 at his Pro Day. He also ran a 3-cone over 7.1.

These are alarming numbers considering his size. It is one thing to be small. To be small and slow is a death sentence in the NFL. Maybe it was a bad day for Duck. Maybe his smarts can show quicks on the field.

Still, he has an upward battle to make the roster. He will first have to beat out last years UDFA Rashard Fant. Then, he sees Duke Shelley, a fifth round pick from Kansas State  Finally he would see Sherrick McManis  and his special teams ability and Buster Skrine. That is a long climb, but he has shown he is up for a challenge.
