Gerard

Gerard set the Northern Arizona school record for interceptions with 19 before going undrafted in April. The 23-year-old will focus mainly on special teams.

Gerard was on the club for five weeks, playing primarily on special teams when he did crack the game-day roster. He’ll fight for a spot in 2010 camp.

Gerard was waived by the Bears last week after not appearing in a game all season. He’ll try to crack the roster as a special teamer.

Williams is an H-back type with soft hands, and may be in a direct battle with Harvey Unga to make the 2011 roster. Horn drew interest from other teams late in the season, so the Bears had to increase his practice squad pay and promise him a futures deal. OL coach Mike Tice likes his potential at 6-foot-7.

Gerard saw time on special teams last season after setting Northern Arizona’s school record for interceptions in 2008. Mattison is the son of Ravens defensive coordinator Greg.

Gerard was vying for a special teams spot. He’s bounced around the league. Perez, an undrafted rookie from San Diego State, was a seventh-round pick of MLB’s New York Yankees in 2003 and may have a career in another sport ahead of him. Jones is a prospect from Marshall. He didn’t even start in college.

Undrafted out of Northern Arizona, Gerard didn’t appear in a game last season. He was a dominant small-schooler, but isn’t shaping up as an NFL player.
