Quarterback Caleb Williams and running back D’Andre Swift didn’t know who Moody was until he was on the sideline Monday night. He made a big impact on the team in his first game with the Bears.
Moody said he’s happy to have a fresh start with Chicago.
“I mean, it’s always good to have a fresh start, you know,” Moody said. “And I always believed in myself, believed in my teammates, and, you know, shout out to Scott (Daly) and Tory (Taylor). They made that operation really easy on me.
“The same with the o-line up front protecting great on that last one. You can’t draw it up any better.”
Moody blocked out negative thoughts
Moody said he blocked out any thoughts he had about his time in San Francisco on Monday night so he wasn’t nervous on his final kick.
“You can’t dwell on the past,” Moody said. “You got to move on and focus on the next kick.”
Santos was named a team captain before the season. But the Bears might have a kicking competition after Moody put the league on notice on Monday night. As a practice squad member, any team in the league can sign Moody.
