NORMAN, Okla. -- The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with third-round draft pick and former Sooner Dusty Dvoracek on Wednesday.
 
Dvoracek was the third of six Sooners selected in the 2006 NFL Draft in April. OU had 10 players selected in the 2005 draft. No school topped Oklahoma's 16 draftees the past two years.
 
The following is an excerpt from Chicago's official site:
 
Dvoracek is a strong, physical and aggressive tackle who can collapse the pocket. A blue-collar worker with tenacity and toughness, he plays with power and lower body explosion.

The 6-3, 305-pounder lined up alongside Bears Pro Bowl tackle Tommie Harris for three seasons at Oklahoma and likely will challenge Ian Scott and Alfonso Boone for playing time.

Dvoracek was a four-year letter winner at Oklahoma, starting 26 of 48 career games played while totaling 131 tackles with 16 sacks, 45 tackles for loss, one interception and three fumble recoveries. He ranks fifth all-time in Sooners history and third all-time among linemen in tackles for loss and is 12th on Oklahoma's career sacks list.

The Dallas native was a two-time consensus All-Big 12 first team selection and was twice named to the All-Big 12 Academic first team.

Three weeks before they're due to begin training camp, the Bears have all seven of their draft picks in the fold. Preceding Manning and Dvoracek were second-round cornerback Devin Hester, fourth-round linebacker Jamar Williams, fifth-round defensive end Mark Anderson, sixth-round fullback J.D. Runnels and sixth-round guard Tyler Reed.
