Baylor Bears show out NFL preseason week 1

WHO LET THE BEARS OUT!?

Baylor University continues to produce talent the NFL can appreciate. The preseason is finally underway and this is when some our favorite college players make their money. These Baylor Bears made some key plays Week 1 to improve their chances of making a 53 man roster.

Trestan Ebner

Trestan Ebner was taken in the 6th round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
A leader and impact player for the Baylor Bears, Ebner was a steal in the 6th round.

Trestan Ebner played just like how most Bears fans expected. Promising. I’m talking Baylor as well as Chicago. Tristan was very productive as a passing threat in college and that is exactly where he made some money touching pay dirt.

During the first week of the NFL preseason, Treston took a check down pass from back up QB Trevor Siemian into the end zone against the Kansas City Chiefs. On 3rd and 9 near the redzone, the Bears needed that play.

“I knew if I was going to score I was going to take a big hit. Ebner said during a post game interview. “So it really just came down to me wanting to get in more than him..”

The Baylor product also had a 27 yard scamper to put Chicago into scoring territory. Chicago may of squeaked by with a win but the Bears running back room is seemingly a strength for the offense. Bears resume their preseason against the Seattle Seahawks, Thursday Aug. 18.

Trestan Ebner should no doubt make the Bears roster as a great depth stash.

Terrel Bernard

Buffalo Bills defeat Indianapolis Colts 27-24 while Terrel Bernard added a scoop and score.
Terrel Bernard known for turnover touchdowns at Baylor reclaims his fame.

The Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker took advantage of a Boogie Basham force fumble on Indianapolis Colts QB Nick Foles. An opportunity Terrel Bernard could not pass up especially during the preseason opener. Bernard then picked up the loose fumble in stride into the end zone unscathed 69 yards!

An impressive outing for the Bills defense as far as back ups go. The Bills won by three, 27-24 against the Colts. This Baylor Bear was taken in the 3rd round round of the 2022 NFL Draft. As the preseason unravels, Buffalos D may have a hidden gem that could very well steal snaps or even start games this upcoming regular season.

Bills take on the Denver Broncos, Aug. 20 Saturday.

Keep an eye on this guy, Bills Mafia.
