The Chicago Bears are making headlines this offseason—not just for their roster moves, but for one of the most unique names in football. The team has signed undrafted free agent wide receiver Squirrel White, and yes, that's his real name.

After trading DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, the Bears have left the door wide open for new talent to step up in the receiving corps. Enter White, a 5-foot-9, 177-pound speedster out of Florida State, who brings a blend of experience and a play style that could surprise many this summer.

White is no stranger to the college game. Over 48 appearances across Tennessee (2022-2024) and Florida State (2025), he hauled in 136 catches for 1,717 yards and six touchdowns. His breakout came in 2023 with the Volunteers, where he posted 803 receiving yards and two scores on 67 receptions—a season that put him on the NFL radar. While his final college year was quieter with just five catches for 52 yards, his agility and quickness remain undeniable.

So, where does the name "Squirrel" come from? According to reports, White's grandmother gave him the nickname after watching him scurry and dart around her garden as a kid, mimicking the movements of a squirrel. It's a fun backstory that fits his elusive play style perfectly.

White joins a Bears roster that's hungry for fresh faces at wide receiver. With undrafted free agents often being diamonds in the rough, his unique skill set and smaller frame could offer a different dynamic in Chicago's offense. As training camp and preseason approach, all eyes will be on this squirrelly newcomer to see if he can earn a spot on the final roster.

Whether he makes the team or not, Squirrel White is already one of the most talked-about names in football—and a reminder that sometimes the best stories come from the most unexpected places.
