Nate Davis, a 6-foot-3, 316-pound offensive lineman out of Charlotte, was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He started in 12 games in his rookie season and played in 12 games in 2022. Davis is known for his size and strength, however. He also ability to move well for his size.
The signings of Edmonds and Davis comes during a very busy first day of the offseason for the Chicago Bears. They have made several moves to improve their roster. The team has already added LB TJ Edwards while also getting a haul back for the number one overall pick.
The Chicago Bears finished the 2022 season with a record of 3-14 and missed the playoffs. The team is hoping that the addition of Edmonds and Davis will help them get back to the playoffs in the upcoming season.
Even with these additions, the Chicago Bears will most likely not be favorites to win the NFC North according to Illinois sportsbooks. Their future is bright and will likely be contenders down the line.
