May 04--If Bears general manager Ryan Pace seemed a bit fidgety at his post-draft press conference Saturday evening, it's because he wanted to get back up to his office and oversee the college free agent recruiting process.
"That's a big component to this," he said.
The Bears finalized contracts with 15 such players on Sunday evening. They'll be at the three-day rookie camp that begins Friday at Halas Hall.
The list is:
Jonathan Anderson, LB, Texas Christian
Qumain Black, CB, East Central
