Braxton Jones came to the Bears as an unheralded fifth-round draft pick from Southern Utah and ended up not only starting every game but playing all 1,034 offensive snaps this season.
“It’s been a really fun ride,” Jones said.
But as much as he enjoyed the ride, there might not be a Bears player more looking forward to the offseason and the chance to get better. From his very first games of the regular season, Jones identified a weakness against the bull rush that opposing lineman seized upon and never let up.
