Raymond has made a strong impression in his first five months with Chicago, with Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic relaying coach Ben Johnson's praise Monday and calling him "the most selfless player I've ever been around."

With Raymond joining the Bears on a one-year deal earlier in the offseason, Johnson's comments highlight the veteran wide receiver's standing in the building with Week 1 approaching. The praise suggests Raymond is making a positive case for a supporting receiver role and special-teams work.
