About Tyson
Tyson Bagent is a quarterback on the Chicago Bears roster, wearing number 17 and serving as a backup option behind the starter at the position. He stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 212 pounds, a frame that fits comfortably within NFL quarterback norms. Bagent came out of Shepherd, a Division II program in West Virginia, which made him an undrafted prospect. He signed with Chicago and earned a roster spot through the preseason process, a notable achievement given his smaller-school background.
Through the 2024 season, Bagent has appeared in 4 games, reflecting his role as a reserve quarterback who sees the field in limited, situational circumstances. His usage is tied directly to injury or game-script scenarios involving the depth chart rather than a defined starter role. For bettors, backup quarterbacks at this level of usage carry specific prop considerations. Passing attempts, completions, and passing yards props are typically set low when a backup is expected to start or fill in, and Bagent fits that profile. His college pedigree and undrafted status suggest a developmental player working to hold a roster spot rather than a high-volume statistical contributor. Any week he is named a starter, his passing props and rushing attempts become relevant angles worth tracking, particularly given the Bears offensive scheme and how it deploys quarterbacks in designed runs and short-area passing.
