Today was the deadline for all 32 teams to complete their Top 30 pre-draft visits with prospects, and while the Chicago Bears don’t issue a list, a few publications track them.
Here’s what I found for who the Bears hosted this offseason by cross-referencing our guy Aaron Leming’s personal tracker spreadsheet with Pro Football and Sports Network, Stick to the Model, and NFL Trade Rumors:

James Brockermeyer, C, Miami
Jager Burton, C, Kentucky
Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Mikail Kamara, DE, Indiana
Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
Seth McGowan, RB, Kentucky
Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State
Brian Parker, OL, Duke
Karon Prunty, CB, Wake Forest
Jimmy Rolder, LB, Michigan (local pro day)
Keionte Scott, DB, Miami
De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
Anterio Thompson, DT, Washington
Zion Young, DE, Missouri
I’ve seen it reported that the Bears also met with Syracuse tight end Dan Villari, but all those reports seem to stem from an erroneous report, so that may not be true.
The Top 30 visits are the most extensive of all the prospect meetings clubs get, and teams get a lot more out of them than meeting with a player at his pro day, the college all-star games, or the NFL Combine. If reports on any others leak out, I’ll update the list above.
Teams also have a local pro day, when they’ll host players who attended local high schools or colleges. Aaron’s spreadsheet is tracking those, too, but once that day comes and goes, there is usually a full list made available.
Would you like to see the Bears pick any of the players they met with?
