Bears signed Mississippi State LB Richie Brown.
Brown (6’2/237) was a two-year starter as the Bulldogs’ middle linebacker, leading the team in tackles as a junior and senior and tallying 21 career tackles for loss along with ten sacks and five interceptions. Not invited to February’s Combine, Brown helped himself with a 4.63 forty, 37-inch vertical, and 6.75 three-cone time at Mississippi State’s Pro Day. Brown’s initial NFL ticket will be on special teams, where he saw extensive action as a freshman and sophomore.
