The Facts:
Over the past three seasons, new Bears running back Thomas Jones has totaled 65 catches for 444 yards and no touchdowns. The Bears hope that Jones will play a role similar to that of Priest Holmes in the Chiefs-style offense new coordinator Terry Shea has installed after spending three years in Kansas City as the quarterbacks coach.

Bob Harris' View:
Play a similar role, maybe. Perform similarly? Not a chance. Jones' career totals don't even match the numbers that Holmes has averaged over the past three seasons (67 catches and 659 yards). Let me repeat: Jones' CAREER totals don't match Holmes' AVERAGE. Make sure you keep Jones ranked somewhere in the twenties on your RB cheatsheet.
