The Chicago Bears added speedy wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft, giving quarterback Justin Fields another playmaker in an otherwise underwhelming receiving corps.
It was an exciting time for Jones, who had an inkling that Chicago was among the top teams interested in him during the pre-draft process.
But Jones almost didn’t answer the call from Bears general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus because he was in shock seeing the Chicago number on his phone. But Jones quickly recovered and answered the call that changed his life forever and brought us a special moment from the draft.
