Jaylon Johnson Anticipates Facing Bears' Top 3 Wide Receivers in Training Camp
Jaylon Johnson Ready for Bears' Top WR Challenge
Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson secured a four-year, $76 million contract extension this offseason, solidifying his role as a key player in Chicago's emerging defense.
Coming off a career year as one of the NFL's top cover cornerbacks, Johnson aims to prove he can consistently rank among the league's elite.
Facing the Bears' formidable wide receiver trio�DJ Moore, Keenan Allen (acquired via trade this offseason), and rookie Rome Odunze�should aid the fifth-year veteran in his quest. Johnson is eager for the challenge given the talent in place.
«[Keenan] is a receiver that is unpredictable,» Johnson said. «As skillful as a lot of these guys are in this league that do a lot of great things, I feel like they are not as unpredictable, they are not as crafty as I feel like Keenan is. So being able to go against that every day, I think it's something that can help me and DBs to get better. Then of course Rome Odunze coming in and finding his way, more so mentally, and then letting his instincts and his physical being take over after that. Of course, DJ Moore is DJ � he's a playmaker so for me, every time I come out, especially for camp, I know I'll be ready to go for sure.»
As they say, iron sharpens iron. These battles between defensive backs and receivers promise to be highlights of training camp this summer.
