3. CB Jaylon Johnson
The Bears have two starting jobs open in the secondary, and it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to find second-round rookie Jaylon Johnson starting at cornerback opposite Kyle Fuller come Week 1. But Johnson isn’t a shoe-in for the starting job, especially with veterans Kevin Toliver and Artie Burns also competing for the starting spot.
Johnson’s problem is that an entirely virtual offseason and absence of preseason has taken away some valuable reps, which could certainly help him lock up the starting job as a rookie. Johnson, who is coming off shoulder surgery, needs a strong training camp performance to convince the Bears that they can roll with him from the start.
