Mooney did not respond to Ramsey's comments.
Even when the reporters asked him about it at the OTAs on June 2021, the wide receiver just smiled and said he would his play do the talking.
The NFL player had a record-setting rookie year in 2020, catching 61 passes in his first NFL season.
In 2020, Chicago Tribune did a feature on Mooney's NFL journey, which included comments from his coaches.
Bears wide receivers coach Mike Furrey complimented the rookie saying that he carried himself like a "four-year NFL veteran."
Furrey added Mooney was born with maturity and focus that was honed by a tragedy — the illness and death of his father when he was in high school in Alabama.
"He [his father] wasn't here to see it all, but he's the reason it all started," Mooney said.
Meanwhile, another coach, Matt Nagy, also acknowledged his talents. They were impressed by the player's speed, explosiveness, route running, and tireless work ethic.
As for his NFL aspirations, Mooney talked about wanting to be one of the best receivers in the league and winning Super Bowls.
But he added that he also wanted to be remembered for his character.
"After you leave this earth, what are they saying about you? Are they saying you could have been this — or you were that person?" said the receiver.
