Bears Sign Fifth Round Pick

Chicago Bears fifth round draft pick, Kevin Payne, has signed with the team, according to the Bears’ website. This marks the second Bears pick to sign with the team, with third round pick Garrett Wolfe being the first rookie to sign on the dotted line. The Bears and Payne agreed to undisclosed terms on a four year deal.

Payne, a multi-talented player who had playing time in college as a running back, safety, and punter will be a strong defensive back for the Bears. He offers an explosiveness and ability to play the run that appeals to coach Lovie Smith. The Bears are smart to have drafted him and signed him so quickly. By all accounts Kevin Payne is a good kid who plays hard. He should have a very productive NFL career.
