Iowa's Aussie-born pick inks his rookie contract as the Bears begin the process of bringing their draft class into the fold.
The process of signing draft picks has begun for the Bears and punter Tory Taylor is the first of the 2024 class to enlist on the payroll.
"The strength in his leg and then the touch that he has, you guys saw the strength in his leg yesterday," Hightower told media. "Yesterday we worked open-field punting and he's as good as advertised. Did a nice job yesterday. He looked comfortable." Although he's a punter and from Australia, at that, Hightower sees Taylor much a part of the team as any defensive or offensive player.
