Darnell Mooney was selected by the Chicago Bears with the 173rd pick in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He started in nine and played in all 16 games as a rookie in 2020, finishing as the Bears’ second-leading receiver with 61 catches, 631 yards, and four TDs. His 61 receptions as a rookie were second-most all-time by a Bears rookie, only behind Matt Forte (63 in 2008). His 61 receptions are tied for fourth-most ever by an NFL rookie drafted in the fifth round or later, and the most since Tyreek Hill also had 61 in 2016. Mooney played college football at Tulane. He led the Green Wave in receiving in both his junior and senior seasons. He caught 48 passes each year, totaling 993 yards in 2018 and 713 yards in 2019. Mooney scored 19 touchdowns in his college career. He also majored in Applied Computing, and if not in the NFL, he believes he'd be working in the Information Technology sector. Mooney lost his father, Larry Darnell Mooney, from leukemia during his junior year of high school. Before the Bears played the Falcons in Week 3 of the season, Mooney mentioned that the last time he had been in Atlanta had been with his father. "I've been through the era of when he passed," said Mooney, "It wasn't as sad, but it was an emotional rollercoaster. I played pretty decently with it. It's just another push, an edge of what has brought me to the person I am today."
