Rebilas-Imagn Images / Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn ImagesWalker, a former first-round pick by the Denver Broncos out of Florida State in 2017, has been a productive defensive end in his eight-year NFL career. After being mostly a rotational piece to begin his career in Denver, he received spot starts during his stops with the Houston Texans in 2021 and the Tennessee Titans in 2022 before spending the previous two seasons with the Chicago Bears, where he was mostly a full-time starting pass rusher.

Over his eight years in the league, Walker has compiled 191 total tackles , 71 QB hits, 26.5 sacks, two passes defended, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery over 100 career games and 42 starts.Caleb is from Nashville, TN, and graduated from Florida State University in 2018 with majors in Sociology and History.
