But for former Illinois defensive lineman Keith Randolph Jr., the show had just begun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen the draft is over, everything\u2019s coming so fast,\u201d Randolph said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was one of the highest-ranked prospects to go undrafted \u2014 and thus one of the biggest names on the undrafted free agent market. Mere hours after Mr. Irrelevant was named, Randolph signed a deal with the Chicago Bears reportedly worth $220,000 in guaranteed money according to Spotrac \u2013 likely almost $140,000 more in guarantees than some seventh-round draft picks received.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt made me feel wanted,\u201d Randolph said of the contract. \u201cFor them to come get me and give me a good amount of guaranteed money, it was a blessing. I\u2019m just thankful for the opportunity.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Randolph was one of nine undrafted free agents at the Bears rookie minicamp May 10 and 11. The chances of making the 53-man roster are slim, particularly on a Bears team bloated with young talent after taking a combined 21 players in the 2022 and 2023 drafts. But they do have a chance, as roughly one-third of current NFL players started their careers as undrafted free agents, according to ESPN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if they don\u2019t make a roster, simply signing an NFL contract is a dream fulfilled for many undrafted players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI almost cried when I signed my contract,\u201d Bears undrafted signee Ian Wheeler said. \u201cI\u2019ve been working towards this since I was 7 years old.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheeler, a running back and kick return specialist, went from walking on at Howard to catching passes from Caleb Williams at minicamp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought he was going to be a little bit taller honestly,\u201d Wheeler said of the No. 1 overall draft pick. \u201cBut he\u2019s a really good guy and a good quarterback and a good leader.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Williams\u2019 arrival has heightened expectations for a Bears franchise that last won a playoff game in 2011, but the vast majority of the 43 players at minicamp will play no role in changing that. Many won\u2019t don a Bears jersey again after that weekend. But Wheeler and Randolph each have a path to making the roster \u2014 Wheeler could benefit from the NFL\u2019s new kickoff return rules that have breathed new life into the returner role, and Randolph could benefit from the team\u2019s lack of depth at defensive line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHad (Randolph) not been dealing with a bad ankle all last season, I think he would\u2019ve been drafted,\u201d CBS Sports analyst Tom Fornelli said. \u201cWell worth a shot for the Bears considering that the defensive line is where the real competition is this summer.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike players selected in the draft, Randolph got to choose his NFL home. He knew the Bears might have a role for him when he signed. They gave him a hefty chunk of guaranteed money. But those weren\u2019t the only reasons he chose Chicago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s the Chicago Bears, aka \u2018Da Bears,\u2019\u201d Randolph said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s in my hometown state, so the decision was easy for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King Jemison is a graduate journalism student at Northwestern\u2019s Medill School of Journalism.
