While he didn&#8217;t earn a roster spot following the weekend, Gordon remained on the Bears&#8217; radar. He had a stint with the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL and had workouts with other NFL teams lined up.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Gordon came back to the area he knew well from his college days and will be a part of the Bears&#8217; roster.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last three years at Northwestern, Gordon totaled 52 receptions for 526 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
