Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas turned a stutter-go into a 97-yard touchdown against the Tennessee Titans during Week 3 of the 2026 NFL preseason.
On first and 10 from Chicago’s 3-yard line, Thomas used the stutter to create space before accelerating down the right side. Tyson Bagent recognized the opportunity, launched the deep ball and let his rookie receiver’s 4.28 speed take care of the rest.
It was Chicago’s first offensive snap of the game.
One play. Ninety-seven yards. Eleven seconds. Touchdown.
The Bears selected Thomas out of LSU with the 89th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Chicago knew it was getting elite speed after Thomas ran a verified 4.28-second 40 at the NFL Combine.
This touchdown showed that Thomas is more than raw speed. The stutter created the opportunity, the catch secured it and the acceleration finished it.
Which was better: Zavion Thomas’ route or Tyson Bagent’s throw?
