With their 10th and final pick in the draft, the Bears go cornerback — selecting a small school prospect with some definitive upside. Zyon McCollum comes from the Southland conference, playing at Sam Houston State.
McCollum is one of the biggest defensive backs in the draft, standing 6-foot-3. He plays a very physical style of football which would work well with what the Bears want to do defensively under Eberflus.
He is a raw player who will have a little work to do at the next level but would play well in a Cover 3 scheme, which the Bears could be in at times in the future.
McCollum wouldn’t be a sure bet to make the roster, but with his size and physicality, he’s absolutely worth taking a chance on here. The Bears’ cornerback room could look far different in 2022 — and fans are hoping it does.

McCollum might end up making his presence felt on special teams for a little while, but that’s how these smaller school, late-round guys have to make it.
