Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has always been a big fan of Darnell Mooney. The duo became fast friends after Fields was selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and have built a chemistry off the field that's translated into success on it.
Expectations were high for the Fields-to-Mooney combo in 2022, but a slow start for the Bears' offense, combined with a late-season ankle injury for Mooney, made for a disappointing campaign. Mooney finished last year with just 40 catches for 493 yards and two touchdowns.
But that's all in the past now. Mooney deployed his trademark work ethic this offseason to recover in time for training camp, and his efforts have earned praise from Fields.
