Wide receiver Brittan Golden from West Texas A&M went undrafted, but signed a contract with the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Golden joins former West Texas A&M offensive tackle J’Marcus Webb, who was drafted in 2010 by the Bears.
Golden put up some impressive numbers during his four years with the Buffaloes. He reeled in 55 passes for 1,076 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior year last season.
He finished second all time in West Texas A&M receiving yards (3,007) and fifth in receptions (165).
He would have to earn his way onto the team through special teams most likely.
I had the chance to catch up with Brittan this past week and he talked about his favorite part of football, what his pregame warm-up consists of and if his dream was always to play in the NFL.
Here’s the interview with Bears rookie wide receiver Brittan Golden.
BB: Was it always your dream to play in the NFL? Are you excited to be in the city of Chicago playing for such a historic franchises?

BB: What do you feel is your biggest weakness?
