Amid all the changes the Chicago Bears made this offseason, one seemed obvious but didn't quite come to ideal fruition. And it was not for a lack of apparent effort, in free agency or the draft.

When Ben Johnson was hired as the Bears' head coach, he inherited D'Andre Swift as his lead running back. The two of course have history, as Swift was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2020 and Johnson was on the coaching staff there for the past six seasons.
