The Bears officially announced the signing of linebacker Brian Iwuh on Monday, as well as the release of tight end Kevin Brock.

Since players are rarely, if ever, listed solely as special teams contributors, the Bears and others may insist that Iwuh can serve as a reserve linebacker. However, there's no history of Iwuh doing that; still, he's not bad on any of the four phases of special teams.

Scouts Inc. (ESPN Insiders only) says he has adequate size and above-average speed; he's more of a straight-line runner than someone with a lot of quickness and ability to change direction; and, he's inconsistent in his ability to shed blocks.

Simply, he's well-suited to play special teams; don't expect a lot more than that, though.
