The Chicago Bears offensive line is still a work in progress following the offseason program, which isn’t the most reassuring thing ahead of training camp. But there’s one name who’s been surprising over the last couple of weeks — fifth-round offensive tackle Braxton Jones.
Jones has seen time at left tackle with the starters during the final week of organized team activities and all of mandatory minicamp, where head coach Matt Eberflus is getting a look at different offensive line combinations.
For Jones, he was surprised at first, but he quickly settled into his role, where he got some valuable reps with the first-team offense.
