Bagent has impressed the Bears with a comfortability that belies his small-school rookie status.

Bagent is no lock to make the 53-player roster at all, let alone move ahead of both Walker and Peterman to get the No. 2 job, but he has done enough that he’s right in the thick of the Bears’ backup quarterback competition.

Bagent won his first start in the NFL last Sunday with a well-executed dink-and-dunk game against the Raiders.

But the Bears eventually stalled after two short runs and a Bagent incompletion.

Coach Matt Eberflus joked earlier this week that it was the “7,000 passes he’s thrown in his life” that gave Bagent a good sense of when to get rid of the ball.

I haven’t even seen highlights of Bagent, but it’s not often a DII quarterback gets a Senior Bowl invite, so that alone makes one curious.

It now shapes up as Bears’ undrafted free-agent Tyson Bagent vs. the backup QB the Raiders decide to turn to, either veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell.

Jenkins was drawing the parallel from Bagent to Brock Purdy, who now owns a 10-1 record as a starter in the regular season for the 49ers.

They also announced the signing of 14 undrafted free agents, including Shepherd quarterback Tyson Bagent, LSU linebacker Micah Baskerville, Syracuse kicker Andre Szmyt and Arizona defensive lineman Jalen Harris.

Those plays tipped the balance of a game in which the undrafted Bagent and the Bears (2-7) often had the Saints' defense off balance, outgaining New Orleans 368-301 in total yards and possessing the ball for just more than half the game.

Though he will likely never see playing time if he even makes the team, how did Tyson Bagent look in the OTAs and minicamp.
