Bears rookie running back Roschon Johnson loves to use his body as a weapon, punish defenders and run through contact, so Friday’s rookie mini-camp opener with no pads and no contact was not his style.
“I hate it,” the fourth-round pick said.
After two years of playing behind first-round draft pick Bijon Robinson at Texas, Johnson is used to biding his time.
“Down the road when we get pads on, my playing style will definitely show,” said the 6-0, 219-pound Johnson, who nonetheless was able to show off his athleticism on simple hand-offs in Friday’s practice at Halas Hall.
