Bears senior writer believes these three rookies will be the most impactful this year

I think that second-round picks Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker will both become dependable starters at cornerback and safety, respectively, but I believe that receiver Velus Jones Jr. will make the biggest impact by a Bears rookie this season�in part because of the position he plays and the opportunities he'll receive. Watching Jones in offseason practices, he certainly looks the part�he's fast and explosive and has good hands. Scouts have said that his No. 1 strength is generating yards after the catch, and you could see that aspect of his game on the practice field during minicamp and OTAs. Jones also seems like he's NFL-ready; he took advantage of the extra year of eligibility that college football players were granted last year due to COVID-19, blossoming as a playmaker at Tennessee. Jones especially honed his route-running skills in what was his sixth season playing college football, more than doubling his career totals with 62 receptions, 807 yards and seven touchdowns. He's also a dangerous return specialist who could give the Bears a boost in that area as well.
