Chicago, IL — The Chicago Bears' Darnell Mooney has been setting training camp on fire, and head coach Matt Eberflus couldn’t hold back his praise for the star wide receiver.
“He’s unstoppable right now,” Eberflus declared after a stunning practice session where Mooney left defenders in the dust and showcased insane speed and precision that’s turning heads both within the team and across the league. Mooney, known for his quick footwork and elite route-running ability, has elevated his game to new heights this offseason.
Sources say Mooney has been working relentlessly with quarterback Justin Fields to develop an unspoken chemistry, making explosive plays down the field that have been impossible to stop. Even veteran cornerbacks have struggled to match his speed, and Mooney is catching everything thrown his way, even in the toughest conditions.
“I’ve never seen him this locked in,” said Fields. “He’s playing with a chip on his shoulder, and it’s showing. When he gets that ball in his hands, he’s a real threat.”
With the Bears’ offense looking to take a leap in 2025, Mooney could be the breakout star that carries them forward. As Eberflus said, “If he keeps this up, he’s going to make defenses rethink everything.”
