5 UDFAs who could make Chicago Bears roster
4. Dionte Ruffin, CB, Western Kentucky
Ruffin is a two-year starter at cornerback for Western Kentucky. He also has a long track record of special teams help, which is what could get him onto the Chicago Bears roster. You can see his athletic and size measurements below.
Ruffin is a bit undersized but has quality athletic measurements.
Dionte Ruffin is a CB prospect in the 2021 draft class. He scored a 5.57 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 792 out of 1784 CB from 1987 to 2021. https://t.co/BklRxYfceh #RAS via @Mathbomb pic.twitter.com/D0DW2m4t5c

His speed and ability to change direction along with his size show a player that is likely headed to the slot. This makes sense considering the Bears do not have much depth behind Duke Shelley, who has not proven himself yet.
Still, Shelley is a late pick, and Bryce Callahan was a UDFA, which shows that the Bears will turn these players into slot starters. Dionte Ruffin has to be given a look.
