There is a good chance velus isn't even on the final 53.
They already have 4 guys who are 100% making the team. Get one more rookie and that makes 5.
He isn't even good on special teams, so not sure what his value would be. Ebner and him should both be cut barring some major improvements in camp.
This is complete horseshit. He’s a pretty damn good kick returner. He should never have been used as a punt returner. That’s on the coaching staff.
He’s not a prototypical WR, but has a similar skill set to Cordarrelle Patterson and should be utilized accordingly. He scored a TD on his first offensive NFL touch and he didn’t get another chance for weeks.
He can be a weapon if used properly. His speed is real and has to be respected. A diverse offense can attack a defense in a variety of fashions. He provides a different wrinkle.
Also, when he motions across the formation, the threat of a jet sweep has to accounted for by the opposing defense. He’s dangerous with the ball in his hands.
There is zero chance the Bears cut him this off-season.
