The Bears signed six players who tried out for the team during rookie minicamp over the weekend.
Four are rookies, including receiver John Jackson III, who is one of quarterback Caleb Williams’ best friends. Williams had only 40 catches for 309 yards in a five-year college career that included four seasons at USC and one at Nevada. His father and grandfather both played and coached the Trojans, respectively.
“I’m excited for him and this opportunity,” Williams said Friday of Jackson. “We’ve been working hard trying to dig into the playbook and things like that because he’s in a situation where he’s coming in here trying out.
