From a distance, Bears' Nagy gets 1st look at rookie Fields
Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is taking it one step at a time even if a large amount of the team’s fan base wants him playing on opening night against the Los Angeles Rams. For Fields, one step at a time means letting his head coach see him practice live first, and that wasn't even possible Friday on opening day of the team's rookie minicamp. “I’m just taking it day by day, focusing on each day, each period, each play, on just perfecting that play and getting better,” Fields said.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
If there’s a coach who can employ Atwell’s blurring speed, it’s the space maker, Sean McVay. But many teams we spoke with were shook by Atwell’s tiny frame (155 pounds) and worried he might never be more than, say, an Andrew Hawkins clone. Perhaps Atwell is more than that, but the Rams' need at center was big. Atwell was just outside our top 100 prospects.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Turn on the LSU game and you see a player who is full-tilt toward finding the ball and delivering a message. Jones is a big hitter with strong football instincts and a player who never gives up on the ball. He’s not special in coverage, has had some injuries and will overrun some plays, but Jones could be a defensive leader in time.
