## Resource

Velus Jones Jr. is soaring in Chicago’s offseason program, earning high praise from coach Ben Johnson, who’s “buying Burden stock” — a clear signal of confidence. After the Bears traded DJ Moore, Jones Jr. has emerged as the top wideout target, poised to lead alongside Rome Odunze. His rookie season was elite — best yards per route run since 2016 — proving his efficiency and impact. With the offense primed for fireworks, Jones Jr.’s breakout season feels inevitable.
