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.

Taylor knows it is unusual for an NFL team to use a fourth round pick on a punter.
Iowa State defensive back Jontez Williams hopes to have an expanded role for an experienced Iowa State defense next season. The native of Florida made two starts and appeared in 13 games last season. He will try yo help make up for the loss of All-American corner T.J. Tampa
Like Tampa, Williams also played receiver as a high school star.
Williams says he has learned a lot from Tampa and still stays in touch.
The Cyclones open next season at home on August 31st against North Dakota.
