2022 SEASON (Bears):

Made his NFL debut in Week 4 at New York, working primarily on special teams
In Week 5 at Minnesota, took a nine-yard touch-pass into the end zone to bring the score to 21-16 (10:31)
The reception was the first offensive touch of his career, and he becomes the second offensive skill player in franchise history to score a touchdown on the first offensive touch of their NFL career, the last player to do so being Adam Shaheen on Sept. 24, 2017 at Cincinnati (STATS LLC)
Finished with one reception for 10 yards and one rush for eight yards against the Commanders in Week 6
Saw game action on offense and special teams in Week 7 at New England
In Week 8 at Dallas, took an end around rush for 18 yards with 4:45 remaining in the first quarter. That stands as the longest offensive play of his career to date
Finished with two rushes totaling 33 yards and one reception for five yards
In Week 11 at Atlanta, took the Bears' first kickoff return 55 yards to the Falcons' 44-yard line
It was the longest kick return since former Bears returner Cordarrelle Patterson had a 104-yard return vs. the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 16, 2020
Rushed twice for six yards against the Jets in Week 12, and also played in over half the snaps on special teams
Rushed one time for one yard against the Packers in Week 13, and also returned four kicks, including one return of 42 yards
Caught one pass for three yards and had one rushing attempt against the Eagles in Week 15
Finished with two receptions and a team-best 52 yards against Buffalo in Week 16
Caught a 44-yard pass from Fields to set the Bears up in Buffalo territory , which is the longest offensive play of his career
Also had four kick returns totaling 113 yards, including a long of 40 yards
Had one rush for 13 yards and also had a career-best 63-yard kickoff return at Detroit in Week 17
In Week 18 vs. Minnesota, caught one pass for 28 yards and had one rushing attempt that went for a 42-yard touchdown, the second score of his rookie season
Also had four kick returns, with a long of 25 yards
In doing so, he becomes the first Bears player to record a reception, rush and return all above 25+ yards in the same game since Walter Payton on Dec. 21, 1975 ... He's the first NFL player to do so since Chase Edmonds on Oct. 11, 2020
