<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bears sign Leak, six other undrafted rookiesBy Larry Mayer LAKE FOREST, Ill. ? The Bears now have two Florida quarterbacks on their roster after signing undrafted free agent Chris Leak, who followed Rex Grossman with the Gators in 2003. Quarterback Chris Leak passed for 213 yards and 1 rouchdown in Florida's BCS title game win over Ohio State.A shade under six-feet tall, Leak is a highly competitive and experienced passer who likely wasn?t drafted due to concerns about his lack of height and arm strength.He led Florida to the 2006 national championship and finished his career as the school?s all-time passing leader in attempts, completions, yards, total offense and 200-yard games.?I?m looking forward to learning from Rex and especially going to a Super Bowl team with a great coach like Lovie Smith,? Leak told The Gainesville Sun.?As far as being able to learn under a veteran quarterback and getting into a great system, you kind of think things happen for a reason. I really believe that.?The Bears signed six other undrafted free agents, including New Hampshire wide receiver Dave Ball. The 6-1, 196-pounder shattered Jerry Rice?s Division I-AA record by catching 58 career TD passes. Lacking top-end speed, Ball projects as a possession receiver in the NFL.The Bears also signed Notre Dame defensive end Chris Frome, Boise State wide receiver Drisan James, UNLV safety Jay Staggs, Tennessee receiver Jayson Swain and Georgia linebacker Danny Verdun Wheeler.</div>Great pickup with Chris Leaks. Sure he may not be great in the NFL but it just adds much needed depth in the bears quarterback situation! I am really excited about this pickup althought it may not have an immediate impact.
