His professional career started in the 2004 NFL Draft, when he was selected as the 78th pick by the Chicago Bears.

His numbers improved further in 2007, as he had 951 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Thanks to his improving form, the Bears put a franchise tag on Bernard and wanted to offer him a new multi million contract after he became a free agent.

He started off successfully at his new team, posting his career-best numbers, with 964 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in his first season. Bernard’s second season at Minnesota was also a success with four touchdowns scored and 618 receiving yards, but in 2010 he had a disastrous season finishing without a single touchdown scored.
