Summary
Zavion Thomas announced himself on his first NFL play, turning Tyson Bagent’s pass from Chicago’s own 3-yard line into a 97-yard touchdown against Tennessee.
The third-round rookie finished his preseason debut with five catches for 140 yards, plus 22 kickoff-return yards and 39 punt-return yards.
Bagent called it "the greatest start in NFL history," while Thomas said the breakout reflected the preparation he expected to pay off.
Chicago projects Thomas as a No. 2 receiver behind Kalif Raymond, giving Caleb Williams another potential target alongside Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze.
