His speed and ability to change direction along with his size show a player that is likely headed to the slot. This makes sense considering the Bears do not have much depth behind Duke Shelley, who has not proven himself yet.
Still, Shelley is a late pick, and Bryce Callahan was a UDFA, which shows that the Bears will turn these players into slot starters. Dionte Ruffin has to be given a look.
