Former Iowa punter signed a contract with the Chicago Bears over the weekend. The native of Australia and Ray Guy Award winner was taken by the Bears in the fourth round of last month’s NFL Draft and took part in the Bear’s rookie mini-camp.

It was been an interesting journey for Taylor, who grew up playing Australian Rules Football.
