In his five years as general manager of the Bears, Ryan Poles has prioritized adding a quarterback in some capacity in four of them. Aside from the obvious selection of Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall in 2024, he’s also signed undrafted free agents in Tyson Bagent and Austin Reed. Poles continued that trend after the 2026 NFL Draft by bringing in Louisville quarterback Miller Moss.
Moss spent four years at USC, backing up Caleb Williams in 2022 and 2023 and eventually taking over the starting job
in 2024. His first start came in the 2023 Holiday Bowl against Louisville, having won the game’s offensive MVP after throwing six touchdowns and leading the Trojans to a 42-28 victory.
Having gone 4-5 as USC’s starter, he was eventually replaced by their current starter, Jayden Maiava. Moss ended up transferring to Louisville, where he led them to a 9-4 season and a victory in the Boca Raton Bowl.
I had Moss as the No. 384-ranked player on my board, the No. 17-ranked quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the eighth-best QB to hit undrafted free agency after the conclusion of Day 3.
