Velus Jones Jr. Could Be Used All Over
3 years agoChicago Bears third-round wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. had limited offensive production in his six-year college career, but the Bears love his 4.3-second 40-yard dash speed and hope to line him up outside, in the slot, in the backfield and as a returner on special teams. The 24-year-old is old for a rookie, but his speed is what sets him apart. With Darnell Mooney and Byron Pringle as the team's top two receivers, Jones could carve out a role as Chicago's No. 3 wideout in his first season in the NFL. Jones can create mismatches at different spots on the field with his speed and will have opportunity, but he'll still be much more attractive as a dynasty asset than a redraft one on 2022.
