3 years agoThe Chicago Bears selected Tennessee wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. with the No.71 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He has elite speed and generated 2.67 yards per route. The 24-year-old caught 62 passes for 807 yards and seven touchdowns over 13 games in 2021. He should carve out a role on special teams and led the SEC in return yards in 2020 and 2021.
