Darnell Mooney joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round pick back in 2020. He wasn’t a big fan of getting drafted so late.
"I know what I want out of my life and I know what I want out of this league," Mooney said."[I was] disrespected as a fifth-rounder when I was picked."Mooney knew what he was capable of even before getting his name called late on that April draft night two years ago.
In his first two NFL seasons, Mooney totaled 142 career receptions, the most by a Bears player recorded in those first couple of seasons. He has shown he's way more than just a fifth-rounder and looks to be the No. 1 receiver now that Allen Robinson is gone. To shut down the disrespect, Mooney worked on his conditioning during the offseason, grew his chemistry with Justin Fields and wants to be a better player than Chicago already knows.
"At the end of the day, I will get my respect and I'm going to keep going until I get my respect."Even when I do get my respect, I'm still going to keep going," he said.
