Tyson Bagent, a 23-year-old undrafted rookie from Division II Shepherd University, has defied the odds on his path to starting at quarterback for the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Tyson Bagent prides himself on his preparation. It is, he says, a big part of what has propelled him from being a zero-star high school recruit in West Virginia to the verge of his first NFL start Sunday at Soldier Field. So when the question came to Bagent on Wednesday during his first news conference as the Chicago Bears Week 7 starting quarterback, he responded as if he had prepared for this too.
The throw Brian Walker calls “arguably the greatest pass in Division II history” came against Notre Dame in the final seconds of the second round of the 2021 playoffs. To be clear, that’s Notre Dame College of South Euclid, Ohio. Notre Dame took a 34-31 lead with 28 seconds to play. But after a kickoff return and a 32-yard Bagent pass, Shepherd had the ball at the Falcons 23-yard line with 10 seconds to play.
