“He can handle this league, you can see that already,” Getsy said. “Then, the speed just jumped at you on the tape. When that guy gets the ball in his hands, he looks like 4.3 on the field. Not many guys can do that, and I think that is what stood out about this guy. He has a chance to score every time he touches the ball.”
Another key to Jones’ game is he doesn’t line up strictly at one place on the field. It’s not a quality unique to Jones in the Bears rookie class either. Trestan Ebner has earned recognition as a jack of all trades on offense. Kyler Gordon can play outside corner, or slot. Jaquan Brisker can make an impact playing deep safety, or sliding into the box. Bringing it back to Jones, Getsy says that versatility is what the entire offense will be built around.
“Guys that can do a bunch of different things give us an opportunity to do a bunch of different things with each guy,” Getsy said. “So, we don’t want just one guy that can run down the field. We don’t want just one guy that can run a choice route. We want guys that can do a bunch of different things. He definitely has that versatility so that’s really cool. It was fun to see this weekend.”
The Bears haven’t revealed much, or really anything, about what the passing attack will look like next season. There’s been talk of explosive plays, versatility, and creating a scheme to match the strengths of their skill players, but that’s pretty much it. That certainly sounds vague, but Bears scout Sam Summerville assured that the coaches have specifics in mind for Jones in this offense.
