At first glance, it's hard to call Olamide Zaccheaus a quality receiver for his work with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.
The former Atlanta Falcon and Washington Commander caught just 10 passes during his lone season in Philadelphia with two touchdowns. Zaccheaus was used more as a blocker overall but was ignored in the passing game.
Last year with Washington, Zaccheaus' numbers improved. He recorded over 500 yards receiving in the nation's capital. Now, the veteran has signed a free-agent deal with the Chicago Bears.
Zaccheaus won't be an everydown player in Chicago, but that doesn't mean he can't be impactful.
Bill Barnwell of ESPN named the Bears receiver one of the best fourth receivers in the league today.
"While Zaccheaus might have been something closer to the second or third wide receiver for the Commanders last season, he is expected to slot in behind DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and rookie second-round pick Luther Burden III in Chicago," Barnwell said. "Don't be surprised if Zaccheaus is on the field more often than you would expect -- coaches love him."
It's easy for coaches to love what Zaccheaus brings to the table. Organizations love the veteran's blocking abilities. Zaccheaus isn't a player who complains about not getting the ball, either.
It's a good reminder of how important a player like Zaccheaus is for teams around the league.
And why the Bears came away with one of the better fourth receivers in the league on the open market this offseason.
