Every NFL team can host up to 30 draft prospects at their facility in advance of the draft in an effort to have valuable one-on-one time with the player. These visits are invaluable parts of the NFL draft process, especially for a team like the Chicago Bears, which has two top-10 selections in 2024.
The Bears have hosted several players already. Here are 9 prospects we know have been through Halas Hall (or soon will be):
Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama
Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale
Dylan Laube, RB, UNH
Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia
Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Nehemiah Pritchett, CB, Auburn
Elijah Jones, CB, Boston College
Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
The biggest names on this list are Caleb Williams, who the Chicago Bears are expected to take with the first overall pick, and Dallas Turner and Rome Odunze, both of whom are in the mix to be Chicago's selection at No. 9 overall.
It's also noteworthy that three cornerbacks made the 30-visits cut. The Bears appear set at corner with the return of Jaylon Johnson and recent second-round investments in Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson, but coach Matt Eberflus has consistently stated that good defenses can never have enough edge rushers and cornerbacks. However, it still seems highly unlikely Chicago will use one of their early selections on the position.
Of the prospects who've already been to Halas Hall, the only ones who shouldn't be available when general manager Ryan Poles is on the clock in Round 3 (No. 75 overall) are Williams (he'll be a Bear), Turner (could be a Bear), Odunze (see, Turner), and Brock Bowers (another possible Bear). The rest of the players on this list are (at best) late second-rounders.
We'll continue to update the Chicago Bears' top 30 visits as information becomes available.
