As the Bears brought in a large group of draft picks and undrafted free agents for rookie minicamp, one question hovered about one of their rookies from last year: What will become of Velus Jones?
Jones was the shakiest of general manager Ryan Poles’ top three draft picks last year, and his path to finding a role at wide receiver is murkier than when they selected him.
