Liosn receiver Jameson Williams reached out to his former coach Ben Johnson after the Bears drafted Luther Burden II, and Williams raved about him.

Bears coach Ben Johnson said after the draft that he doesn't know for sure what role any player will play, because every player will earn it.

Running back was expected to be a focus for the Bears. But they waited until the seventh round to draft a complement to veteran D'Andre Swift, who remains a key piece.
