The Chicago Bears made one of the most interesting selections in the first round of the NFL Draft when they took Michigan tight end Colston Loveland on Thursday night. The pick was questioned by those who believed that Penn State’s Tyler Warren was the best tight end in this year’s class and the groans became…
The Chicago Bears have largely been applauded for their moves in the NFL Draft. Their grades have been solid from the draft experts, and they added plenty of pieces on offense around Caleb Williams and sprinkled a few pieces around the defense as well. But Ben Johnson’s comments after the Draft are what caught my…
The Chicago Bears missed on some high-profile running backs in the NFL Draft, and while they did select Rutgers’ Kyle Monangai in the seventh round, it’s not exactly what some expected. That’s probably a major reason so many NFL analysts are connecting the dots between the Bears and free agent running back Nick Chubb. The…

The Chicago Bears added another loaded NFL draft class to the roster in 2025, though one name stands out above the rest. Chicago attempted to trade up from the No. 10 pick in an effort to secure running back Ashton Jeanty. But when no viable deal proved available, the Bears had a considerable decision to…
Former Maryland linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II took a predraft “30 visit” to Halas Hall. He sort of snuck in and out and no one besides the Bears seemed to pay attention as it wasn’t reported much or even noticed. It’s easy to see why. Hyppolite wasn’t ranked in the Pro Football Focus top 350. He…
The Bears’ decision not to draft a running back until Round 7 hasn’t led to signing a veteran free agent yet, but did at least result in signing an undrafted free agent. Texas State confirmed running back Deion Hankins signed with the Bears. He brings good size to the backfield at 6-foot, 225 pounds, and…
After headlining last year’s NFL Draft with the No. 1 pick overall, the Chicago Bears were in a position to make several useful moves that could result in notable positional upgrades during the 2025 season. The Bears had the No. 10 pick in the first round and used it to select Michigan tight end Colston…
In my day-to-day life, I’m an English teacher. I spend a fair amount of time at the start of each semester reminding students that word choice matters and that they cannot assume others will share their definitions. I remind students that they need to be open to the idea that not everyone shares their same…
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson did not hesitate when labeling his new wide receiver, Luther Burden III. “Luther? Stud,” Johnson replied when asked for an assessment of the former Mizzou standout. Johnson, of course, had much more to say about his team’s new pass-catcher. Burden logged 192 receptions for 2,263 yards and 21 receiving…
