Bears rookie watch: Can Darnell Mooney make it through ‘turbulent water?’

I didn’t write about Darnell Mooney in last week’s rookie watch, mostly because wide receivers coach Mike Furrey didn’t go into much detail about him when asked over Zoom.

Furrey did say he was pleased with where Mooney is mentally heading into training camp practices, which begin Monday at Halas Hall. And that fits with what wide receiver Allen Robinson said in talking about Mooney on Friday.

“I think he can be a great asset to our team,” Robinson said.” I got a chance to work out with Darnell over the summer in Florida, so being able to see pretty early and pretty quickly what he can do and what he can bring to the table.
