The one thing wide receiver Darnell Mooney has craved throughout his football career is respect, and he has rarely gotten it.
His high school career wasn’t good enough to get major scholarship offers despite playing near Alabama and Auburn. The electricity he showed at Tulane was unconvincing, and he waited until nearly the end of the fifth round to get drafted. The Bears actually took two other players in the fifth round before grabbing Mooney at No. 173 overall.
