Bears rookie Velus Jones Jr. is working hard build a bond with quarterback Justin Fields. He said he plans to go to Atlanta to train with him and Darnell Mooney.
Justin Fields is putting in the work this offseason and he's doing so with a couple familiar faces.
Fields was seen in a picture posted with former All-Pro receiver Chad Ochocinco and Ohio State quarterback C.J Stroud in Texas at Del Valle High School.
The Bears quarterback has a relationship with Stroud, as they were teammates together during Fields's last year at Ohio State.
Fields is coming off a rookie season where he posted just 1,870 yards and seven touchdowns paired with a 58.9 completion percentage.
Stroud, on the other hand, put up 4,435 yards and 44 touchdowns with the Buckeyes last season. Stroud figures to be a top prospect in next year's NFL draft.
The work with Ochocinco should benefit Fields greatly, as his wide receiver core next season is pretty thin. Highlighted by third-year Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle and newly drafted Velus Jones Jr., it will be tough for Fields to create a productive offense.

Maybe the Bears should see what Ocho is up to these days.
