The Chicago Bears wrapped up their mandatory minicamp on Thursday, but gave fans a parting gift as they left Halas Hall. Following the final practice, the Bears posted video of a highlight that took place featuring quarterback Justin Fields and tight end Robert Tonyan.
The highlight was a dart thrown by Fields to Tonyan in the end zone, who made a one-handed grab to secure the touchdown. The ball was thrown just over linebacker T.J. Edwards’ hand and Tonyan was covered by safety Elijah Hicks.

The talk of the offseason has been the Bears’ addition of wide receiver D.J. Moore, but Tonyan is another new face in this offense and Fields is finding ways to get him the ball. Tonyan signed a one-year deal in free agency back in March after spending the last six seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Playing alongside Cole Kmet, Tonyan should see plenty of opportunities as a complimentary player in the offense.
This highlight might be the last one fans see for a while as the team is off until training camp later next month, but it has many of them pumped for what’s to come.

This video, although great, doesn't do this throw justice. @thecarm and I were standing near that portion of the end zone. Let me tell you, that ball was absolutely rocketed to Robert Tonyan.
Hell of a throw and catch. https://t.co/c79rlxgYTQ

If only this app had a tracker that showed how many times the same video was rewatched. #Bears fans would rank in the top-3 for every Justin Fields highlight. https://t.co/TPjG3qofDS

The Packers watched this man for YEARS and decided that he was too good for Jordan Love and let him walk into the arms of a division rival.
Gotta love their generosity! https://t.co/ppJy6MZtGZ
