Kaden Davis (born September 25, 1998) is an American professional football wide receiver and return specialist for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats and was signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He has also played for the Cleveland Browns, the Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League (USFL), and the Houston Gamblers of the United Football League (UFL).

Early life

[edit]

Davis lettered at Ellsworth High School in Ellsworth, Kansas, where he played tight end, linebacker, and defensive back. As a senior, Davis caught 857 yards and 15 touchdowns and was selected to play in the 2017 Kansas Shrine All-Star Bowl, where he was Ellsworth's first selection in 25 years.[1] Despite the performance, Davis was a zero-star recruit who received not a single NCAA Division I scholarship, although Kansas State offered him a walk-on spot in track.

Davis first attended Butler Community College and primarily served as a returner. He was offered a walk-on spot at Kansas State, but chose a full-ride scholarship and an immediate starting position at Northwest Missouri State, an NCAA Division II school. As a senior, Davis led the team with 10 touchdowns on 703 yards receiving, helping the team to a semifinal playoff appearance and earning all-conference honors.[2]
