Bears Sign Utah Center Jaren Kump

0:00On April 26, Bears just scooped up Utah Center Jaren Cump as an undrafted free agent right after the 2026 NFL draft wrapped. This six-year senior brings serious experience with 2,842 career-blocking snaps for the youth. He's versatile too, locking time at every spot on the offensive line. Cump shone at the American Bowl and snagged a late invite to the Shrine Bowl, showing he's got that pro-level grit. At 6 foot 5 and 313 pounds, his RIS score hit 7.57, and he only gave up 1 sac in 2025. He's ranked as the 315th overall player, 14th center, and 4th best undrafted center out there. Folks see him as a team captain type, with honorable mention, all Big 12 honors from last year, plus an impact score of 83.0 that. Ranked 6th among Big 12 centers. Analysts think his ticket to the Bears roster is sliding over to guard, since Chicago's set at center, with Garrett, Bradbury, and Logan Jones.
