He committed to the Bears on June 17th. He displays good foot quickness, allowing him to eat up space quickly and create separation off his breaks. Blackmon showcases very good hand-eye coordination, body control, and strong hands. He can adjust mid-route and successfully catch passes in contested situations, making him a dependable target in the red zone or on third down. He's a prospect you can position all over the field at the X, Z, in the slot, or even in the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Kambrien3/status/2067333393822450074?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Kambrien3/status/2067333393822450074?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1206735"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a380f04b77bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1206735' first='Terriun' last='Jones'] was a strong addition to the Bears secondary. He committed to them on June 14th. He displays good read-and-react ability to break on the ball quickly and force PBU's. He's physical in Press, slowing down routes and displacing them. Jones doesn't allow much room for separation off breaks due to good awareness, COD, balance, and burst to stay inside the hip pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TerriunJ_/status/2066216407298170940?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TerriunJ_/status/2066216407298170940?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1322328"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a380f04b7811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1322328' first='Kaeden' last='Thomas'] came on strong within the recruiting world this off-season and for good reason.
