Walker made Chicago's roster as an undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M in 2025 and spent most of the year in a reserve role, but late-season injuries to the WR position allowed him to step up during the Bears' final three regular-season games, in which span he totaled six catches for 87 yards and two TDs on 10 targets. While the trade of DJ Moore to Buffalo opens up some opportunities for Walker entering Year 2, Chicago also pursued a capable journeyman in Kalif Raymond to handle the No. 3 role behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden, and rookie third-rounder Zavion Thomas represents notable competition.
