The Chicago Bears have high hopes for third-round rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr., who’s expected to become a key contributor in Luke Getsy’s offense.
Wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert explained that the Bears aren’t wasting any time integrating him into Getsy’s offense, including utilizing him both inside and outside during Organized Team Activities (OTAs).
“We’ve thrown him into the fire pretty quick, put him at two positions immediately,” Tolbert told reporters last week. “Get him to learn it now. Because we want him to learn the whole concept but, specifically, a couple of positions to get him going. The more he can do, the more, obviously, he’ll have a chance to play.”
