A look at 12 wide receivers that might be on the Chicago Bears' radar as they get ready for three Day 2 picks in the NFL draft.
Why the Bears should draft him:
Pierce is a former Glenbard West football, basketball, volleyball and track athlete who played four seasons — including three as a starter — at Cincinnati. As a sophomore, he had 37 catches for 652 yards and two touchdowns, and he put together his best season in 2021 with 52 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns. Pierce utilizes size, athleticism and speed that resulted in a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the combine.
“You’ve got big-time sprinter speed. He’s just real strong and powerful in what he does. You can watch the Notre Dame game, and you can see the big-time catches, kind of those wild catches. In scouting a lot of times we use the phrase ‘quicker than fast.’ He’s the opposite. He’s faster than quick. He’s got big-time speed. Some of the subtleties getting in and out, that’s going to be a little bit more of a challenge with him at the break point.
Crucial for teams will be medical evaluations on his neck and spine, as well as his foot, which also required surgery.“He’s an elite talent, he’s an explosive leaper, unbelievable body control and ball skills. He’s incredibly explosive in and out of his cuts, great change of direction, lateral movement. He’s fast and a great finisher on the ball, so there’s a lot of good to talk about Justyn Ross as a football player.
