Bears have ‘big plan’ for rookie WR Velus Jones
Bears third-round draft pick Velus Jones (1) had 62 receptions for 807 yards (13.0 avg.) and seven touchdowns at Tennessee last season.Bears rookie Velus Jones remembers the exact moment he knew he was a kick returner.
“Pop Warner, when I was in park league,” said Jones, a 6-0, 204-pound wide receiver taken in the third round of the draft last week. “When I had my first kickoff return against a real good park league team [that] at the time had lost one game since we were four years old, and we were 10 at the time. [That’s when] I realized sky’s the limit.”
