Overview
- Chicago used pick No. 57 to select Iowa center Logan Jones, a Rimington Trophy winner who started 51 straight games.
- The move followed Drew Dalman’s sudden retirement and a trade for veteran Garrett Bradbury, creating a two-man race at center.
- Head coach Ben Johnson praised Jones’ football IQ and zone-run traits, and Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz compared his approach to Tyler Linderbaum.
- Rookie minicamp and OTAs will sort the depth chart, and some outlets speculate Bradbury could be traded if Jones wins the job.
- Jones says he will build trust with Caleb Williams by taking charge of calls and protections, a core duty for centers in this scheme.
