Velus Jones Jr. is mostly known for being a kick returner for the Chicago Bears but in preseason, he may have gotten a new opportunity.
On Saturday, in a win against the Buffalo Bills, Velus Jones Jr. scored a touchdown and had six carries for 34 yards. As it turns out, he caught the eye of his head coach, Matt Eberflus.
" I thought it was positive," Eberflus said. "He did a nice job of really getting north. He's got really good lean mass and he's a physical player and you could see him really deaden the tackles to fall forward for those positive yards."
Do you believe Velus Jones Jr. will get reps at RB? Let us know in the poll below. Additionally, stay tuned to Let's Bear Down for the latest news and updates from around the football world.
