Jaylon Johnson: ‘It’s About Action At This Point’
The feelings of cornerback Jaylon Johnson sum up the Chicago Bears’ situation entering the 2024 season. He’s equally excited and frustrated.
Jaylon Johnson is excited due to the strong end to last season and subsequent offseason additions. He’s frustrated because in four years as a Bear, he hasn’t seen a winning season.
The Bears have revamped their offense, with No.1 overall pick quarterback Caleb Williams the flagship addition. They also signed WR Keenan Allen and RB De’Andre Swift, and WR Rome Odunze was also added via the draft.

“All you can be is excited to be able to be here with people like that,” said Williams.
“We got great vets, we got some good young guys, Rome (Odunze) and a bunch of other guys. Whether they are undrafted, whether they were drafted. Then we got some guys from other teams that are vets and been in the league. The talent and all of that can only go so far as everybody always says. We have to work together, build a bond, build the trust between each other and go get it.”
“It’s about action at this point,” said Jaylon Johnson.
“So the projections, the energy, the enthusiasm all feel good in the beginning because everybody, every team, every fan [says], ‘Oh, this is our year.””

“We gotta go out here and we gotta prove it,” Johnson said. “And I think that starts with Day 1, starts with [Saturday]. But that’s something that’s gonna carry on from now until the end of the season. Whenever that is — if that’s playoffs or not.”
