Early life

Frey was born on April 6, 1990, in Roseville, California. Frey's father, Demetryst Cornish, is a Walter Payton fan, and therefore named Frey's dogs "Bear" and "Payton." Frey and linebacker Lance Briggs were also from the same area.

"The only person I have an idea about is Lance Briggs just because we’re from the same area. He was a stud back in Sacramento and everybody knows about him. I’ve never met him; I’ve just heard stories about him."

— Frey about Lance Briggs [2]

College career

Frey played in college as a cornerback for the Nevada Wolf Pack. [1] During his time at Nevada, he recorded 141 tackles, seven interceptions, seven tackles-for-loss, one sack and two forced fumbles in 51 games. During his year as a senior, Frey was named first-team all-WAC after tying for first in the FBS with 21 pass breakups and recording a career-high five interceptions.

Professional career

Chicago Bears

Though Frey was projected to be an undrafted free agent, [3] he was picked in the 6th round, 184th overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2012 NFL Draft. [4]

"Frey gives the Bears an athletic corner with athleticism and quickness. He is ideally suited to play in a two-deep scheme and will have a chance to make the roster as a sub defender."

— NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks [5]

On May 9, 2012, the Bears signed Frey to a four-year deal. [6] [7]

In the third game of the preseason against the New York Giants, Frey intercepted a David Carr pass in the end zone with 1:06 in the game to give the Bears a 20–17 victory. [8] However, he was waived on August 31. [9] He later was placed on the Bears' practice squad. [10]

The Bears waived Frey on August 26, 2014. [11] On September 1, 2014, he was re-signed to the practice squad. [12] [13]

He was again released by the Bears on October 7, 2014, and replaced on the team's roster by practice squad member Al Louis-Jean.
