Bears post-draft plans may be dramatically altered by surprising rookie

While joining ESPN 1000 on Thursday morning, Poles doubled down on the running backs that the Bears currently have on their roster.

That leaves Swift, Johnson, Wheeler, and Monangai. Swift will likely be the featured back in the Bears’ offense, but as the team looks for their version of David Montgomery, Johnson would seem like the player that Poles has in mind. Poles mentioned Johnson by name on Thursday, as the running back who may benefit the most from the improved offensive line. Wheeler is a little bit of a wild card, considering he missed his rookie season due to an ACL injury.
