Bears rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott has showed off his speed — a 4.37 40-yard dash at Cincinnati’s pro day last spring — at training camp in Lake Forest.

Bears rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott showed off his speed early in training camp, beating cornerback Michael Ojemudia (a 4.45 speedster himself) on a go-route for downfield completion from Justin Fields on the second day of practice last week.

That speed — a 4.37 40-yard dash at Cincinnati’s pro day — got him this far. But it’s Scott’s ability to watch and learn from teammates like DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool that likely will get him to the next step and give him the best chance to contribute as a rookie.
