Summary
Iowa’s bold gamble on redshirt freshman Logan Jones—switching him from defensive tackle to center—paid off spectacularly, as he became a five-time All-American and Rimington Trophy winner. Now, the Chicago Bears, who drafted him 57th overall, see the same relentless work ethic and football IQ that made him a Hawkeye legend. With veteran Garrett Bradbury still on the roster, Jones will likely start behind him in Year 1, but the Bears believe he’s ready to take over as the franchise’s future at center. His rookie season will be a proving ground—will he thrive in the NFL’s toughest trenches, or will he need time to grow? The answer hinges on his development, but one thing’s clear: Jones isn’t just a backup—he’s the long-term answer at the position.
