The Chicago Bears are signing former Tulane cornerback KC Eziomume, according to his agent Christopher Miles of 2 Live Culture. The transaction was first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Eziomume enters the NFL after a collegiate career with the Tulane Green Wave, where he contributed to a defensive unit that saw significant success in the American Athletic Conference. Standing at 6-foot-0, the cornerback provides the Bears with additional size and athleticism in the secondary as the team continues to refine its roster during the current offseason program. During his time at Tulane, he was recognized for his physical style of play and his potential to contribute on special teams units.
The addition of Eziomume comes as Chicago looks to create more competition within its defensive backfield. He will join a cornerback group that includes Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson, and Kyler Gordon, aiming to secure a depth role on the final 53-man roster. The Bears have been active in looking for versatile defensive backs who can fit head coach Matt Eberflus' defensive scheme. Further details regarding the specific terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed by the team.
