The Chicago Bears added more speed to their offense with the signing of veteran receiver Ted Ginn Jr., who signed a one-year deal with the team on Thursday.
Ginn has made a name for himself for being a speedster in his 13-year career, and even at 35 years old, he’s still capable of being a playmaker — whether that’s on offense or special teams. Which is exactly what the Bears are hoping for.
Let’s get to know the newest Bears receiver/return specialist:
1. Ginn might be a 13-year veteran, but he’s still got it
Make no mistake, despite entering his 14th season, Ginn’s still got it at 35 years old. After the Saints signed Emmanuel Sanders in free agency, Ginn tested the free-agency waters and settled on a one-year deal with the Bears.

Ginn has made it clear that he has no intention of retiring, saying: “I’ve still got a few years left in me.” Now, he’ll get a chance to shine in a new home on an offense desperate for speed, which he’s got plenty of.
