A former member of the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0has a new home in the Windy City, according to FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz.<\/p>\n

“Sources: The Bears are in agreement on a 1-year deal with WR and 2x Pro Bowl returner Devin Duvernay. Another key addition in Chicago,”\u00a0Schultz tweeted.<\/p>\n

Duvernay, 27, was drafted by the Ravens in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Texas to be a strong target for quarterback Lamar Jackson.<\/p>\n

Even though Duvernay didn’t get much playing time on offense, he was able to find his home as a return specialist. In 2021 and 2022, Duvernay represented the AFC as its return specialist in the Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n

Duvernay was also named First-team All-Pro in 2021, his second year in the league.<\/p>\n

The Ravens chose not to renew his contract a year ago, and the Jacksonville Jaguars signed him to a new deal. Again, Duvernay made his mark on special teams instead of offense.<\/p>\n

Now, he heads to the NFC North with the Bears, who struggled last season on special teams, but hope to get better with the former\u00a0Ravens\u00a0return man on their side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
