The Chicago Bears have gone about their rebuild with clear intent. Every move to this point has shown a vision from GM Ryan Poles to construct something that can help a young quarterback thrive. To date, every 1st round pick he's made has been on the offensive side of the ball. Offensive tackle...
Chicago was a huge attraction for Ben Johnson. During his free time, he'd come to the city with his family for Cubs games and take in the sights. It became one of his favorite rituals. One of his goals since taking over the Bears was to throw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field. That hasn't...
For basketball fans, it is all about the brackets. How accurate can you be in determining which teams win throughout the NCAA tournament and who wins the championship? There is almost never a 100% accurate prediction. For football fans, their equivalent is mock drafts. Predicting how all 32 picks...
Ben Johnson assembled the best coaching staff he could in January and February. While defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, wide receivers coach Atwaan Randle El, and secondary coach Al Harris get most of the love, running backs coach Eric Bieniemy might be the biggest steal. Prior to his unfortunate...
GM Ryan Poles never wanted to lean on free agency to build the Chicago Bears. It had to be through the draft. Unfortunately, most general managers don't have the luxury of time. The pressure to win immediately is higher than ever these days. After three consecutive losing seasons, Poles couldn't...
Several experts, both nationally and locally, applauded what the Chicago Bears accomplished during the first wave of free agency. Through two trades and three signings, they completely overhauled their offensive and defensive lines. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson had a plan and executed...
Signing Grady Jarrett was something the Chicago Bears didn't need to think about for long. Mere hours after the two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle was released by the Atlanta Falcons, he signed a three-year deal with Chicago. He felt the love right away. The intent was obvious for the Bears....
Taking risks is a natural part of the NFL draft. There is no such thing as building a great team without a handful of calculated gambles. The Chicago Bears have done it before. They took Jim McMahon in 1982 despite being half blind and then William Perry in 1985 despite conditioning concerns. In...
Ben Johnson might be the head coach, but he's not naive. He knows where his area of expertise is. That is the offense. He knew he needed to find a coach who could handle a good deal of autonomy on the defensive side. It was why he targeted Dennis Allen. Not only did the man have a successful track...
People always talk about talent when it comes to the NFL draft. However, due to the nature of American football, fit matters just as much. The sport has such a wide variation of styles and systems. There are few athletes of such high quality that they can play in any scheme and still be successful....
Caleb Williams was the #1 pick in the 2024 draft for a reason. He won a Heisman trophy and carried an otherwise mediocre USC program to considerable success. His talent was off the charts. Then you look at his production as a rookie last season, and one would think people would be impressed. He...
One thing important to take note of this time of year is whenever the head coach of a team shows up at a pro day. That is usually a good sign that there is a player from that program the team is angling to draft. In 2021, Matt Nagy was spotted at the Ohio State pro day personally watching Justin...
