Every year we have a favorite long-shot guy whom we'd like to root for to make the roster. Who you got this year? Who is the guy you'd love to see make it in the NFL as a Chicago Bear?
I've got mine already. Franko House, the 6'6" 250lb, UDFA tight end who chose the NFL over the NBA.

After the Cardinals senior night win this season, he praised House's work ethic and ability to balance being a father with basketball. He kept coming back to one word: Stud.
"He'll be a really good pro athlete in whichever sport he chooses," Whitford said, "because he understands how to work."
Four years after playing tight end for Concord High School in Elkhart, Indiana, House is eyeing a lifelong dream as a he puts another aside.
"It's always been a dream of mine," House said. "Going to the NFL was a dream, alongside going to the NBA, obviously. But at this point, it looks like going to the NFL is a better ticket."

Former Ball State forward Franko House has opted to pursue a professional football career, according to a profile released Monday afternoon by Dakota Crawford of the Muncie Star Press.
House last played football at the high school level at his hometown Concord High School in Elkhart, Indiana. He played tight end and defensive end for the Minutemen.
House ended up choosing to pursue basketball during his senior season at Concord and it was a choice that turned into four years of success for the Cardinals. House averaged 13.4 points per game, 6.4 rebounds per game and 2.3 assists per game in the 2016-2017 campaign and was a key component to the Cardinals lineup, playing all four years with no redshirt.
House was a second-team all-MAC selection and first-team all-MAC defensive at forward in 2016-2017, the only player in the conference to be named to both lists. House was named third-team all-MAC for the 2016-2017 campaign.
