The Bears signed Jordan Lynch as an undrafted free agent from Northern Illinois. He didn't make the team, but did play in 3 of the 4 preseason games last year exclusively at RB. He holds the FBS record for most rushing yards in a season by a QB.

He's currently on the Edmonton Eskimos, and they are listing him as a QB.

He not only had to beat out Charlie Conerly, but George Shaw, Lee Grosscup and Don Heinrich as well.
