The Chicago Bears have selected LSU wide receiver Zayvion Thomas with the 89th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It marked the third offensive pick on Day 2 for the Bears.Here's what NFL.com's Lance Zierlein had to say: "Thomas lacks gaudy production as a receiver, but his athleticism, versatility and return talent could bolster his roster value. He has average size with enough vertical speed to stress defenses downfield.
He’s average in beating man coverage underneath and struggles finishing catches through contact. His vision, burst and elusiveness as a runner makes the evaluation more interesting. Thomas is likely to be viewed as a WR5 candidate with value as a return man, but teams could dig a little deeper on his potential as a running back."More to come.Follow Bears Wire on Twitter, Facebook and InstagramThis article originally appeared on Bears Wire: 2026 NFL Draft: Bears select WR Zayvion Thomas with 89th pick
