Chicago Bears: Three Ryan Pace draft picks in danger of getting cut

Javon Wims spot is not guaranteed on this Chicago Bears roster

Player No. 1: Javon Wims, WR

Javon Wims was selected by Ryan Pace and the Bears in the seventh round of the 2018 draft. Wims went to Georgia where he only saw the field his junior and senior years. At Georgia, he was a teammate of his current Bears teammate Riley Ridley, oddly enough.

Wim had a really nice senior year where he did find the endzone seven times while gaining over 700 yards as well. But for the most part, Wims was very much a role player during his time with the Bulldogs, despite being a good red-zone threat.
