Chicago Bears No. 1 wideout Darnell Mooney sees great things coming from rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr.
"When you run 4.31, it’ll open up your eyes to a lot of things," Tolbert said."But secondly, with the ball in his hands. He does a lot of things, makes a lot of explosive plays with the ball in his hands. And the last thing I would say is playing multiple positions. You can play him in the slot, put him outside, have him coming out of the backfield."
In 2021, Jones Jr. played the best season of his collegiate career at the University of Tennessee. He totaled 62 receptions for 807 yards and seven touchdowns. The 25-year-old was a 2019 All-Pac-12 performer as a return specialist for Southern Cal and a 2021 All-SEC selection as an all-purpose player and return specialist for Tennessee.
Can Jones Jr. become one of the top receivers on the Bears offense this season or will they strictly save his speed for the special teams unit? “He does a lot of different things to help our team, and he’s really good on special teams," Tolbert said."A really good return guy – as a punt returner, kick returner, running down on kickoffs and making tackles, he does it all. He’s a well-rounded player.”
