If Tyson Bagent wasn't an NFL quarterback, he'd be getting jacked at his dad's Crossfit gym and teaching high-schoolers. Instead, he's starting for the Bears.

    His mom was my middle school math teacher! She brought her husband in and we all got to arm wrestle him! He’s an absolute unit!

    All of us on the eastern panhandle are rooting for him!

      I got to commentate Bagent playing against IUP in my last year of my Comm Media major. Dude was a man among boys on a D2 field, and IUP was actually a solid team. Bagent ran and threw all over us. When I learned the Bears signed him I was hype, it’s always nice to have a “hometown” kid make it - even if it’s not really hometown. Rooting for him all the way.

    I love the amount of people that have personal Travis Bagent arm wrestling stories. Rooting for the kid to succeed for more of those alone lol

      I grew up in Charles Town, WV. Travis was a staple when I lived there - 2001 to 2007. He was always at the high school games and the Golds Gym. The most charismatic and hilarious dude I ever met. If Tyson keeps playing they need to get him on the pre-game shows. He will be a hit and it will guaranteed go viral.

    I remember watching his dad on that “game of arms” show a few years ago. I hope he has a good run expect when he plays the Vikings

    I hope he balls out while he can and stay a starter… it would be a fun story and the bears honestly deserve that kind luck where they stumble into a good qb

    wonder what’s different about him from Justin Fields that has people here excited about him, could it be he’s… yep.
