The Chicago Bears reportedly have a new return specialist, and he comes with some impressive accolades, Brendan Sugrue of Bears Wire reports.

According to FOX NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Bears are signing former All-Pro returner Devin Duvernay to a one-year deal. Duvernay spent the 2024 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after making a name for himself with the Baltimore Ravens.

Duvernay broke into the league with the Ravens in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Texas. He quickly became the team's primary kick returner, scoring a touchdown during his rookie season. From there, Duvernay became one of the best return specialists in the game, leading the league in yards per punt return with 13.8 in 2021 and never finishing with fewer than 11.5 yards per return during his tenure with the Ravens. In fact, his career 12.0 yards per punt return is higher than Hall of Famer Devin Hester (11.7). Duvernay earned All-Pro honors in 2021 and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022.
