The value of OTAs on offense, Justin Fields’ success going deep and more storylines to watch as the Chicago Bears begin mandatory minicamp
Chicago Bears: Storylines to watch in June

"At Wednesday’s organized team activities practice, reporters finally had a majestic Fields deep ball to document. It came during seven-on-seven work, a touchdown bomb up the left sideline to Damiere Byrd.
With top-end speed, Byrd separated from rookie defensive back Dionte Ruffin at the end of the play. Fields’ deep dart, which was in the air for approximately 60 yards, dropped right into Byrd’s hands in the end zone and triggered a roar from the rest of the offense on the sideline. Several reporters in attendance immediately marveled at the beauty of the throw."
