Isaiah Demetryst Frey[1] (born April 6, 1990) is a former American football safety. He was selected by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL draft. He played college football for Nevada.
He also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent time on the practice squads for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys.
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.
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.
