123overr Jaylon Johnson is ready to prove himself on the field with the Chicago Bears, who are set to open the season against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.

Chicago Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson says he’s done with the offseason drama and is focused on getting the 2024 season started against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, NFL Network reports.  123overr

Johnson heard from his club about Caleb Williams as the No. 1 draft pick with the added firepower that should usher in a new era for the Bears, as well as a Chicago defense that took off late last season and should be able to start producing quickly in 2024. But the 25-year-old cornerback dismissed that idea and is focused on just doing his job on the field. 

“I’ve stopped believing in the rumors,” Johnson said. “I feel like I’ve said it many times. I’ve got a pretty good roster and a lot of good guys in the locker room who (have been saying), ‘Oh, yeah, this is our year. This is our year.’

‘Everything we have in this locker room sounds good, it seems good, but none of that matters. What matters is what we do this weekend and every Sunday or Monday, no matter what the game is, that’s when it matters. The feedback before the season didn’t change my mind. We all have to come in here and we have to put in the work.’  ( 123overr )
