Former Michigan State football defensive back Ameer Speed came to the Spartans from Georgia in the transfer portal. The Jacksonville (FL) native played for MSU in 2022 after spending the first four years of his career with the Bulldogs, where he won a National Championship.
Following his collegiate career, Speed was drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. Now, trying to make a career for himself in the professional ranks, Speed is looking to latch on with an NFL franchise.
Speed spent his first two seasons with the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, and had most recently signed with the Chicago Bears, but it appears that his time in the NFC North has come to a quick end.
The Bears waived the former Spartan on Monday, ending his training camp in Chicago.
