Bears coach Ben Johnson likes to get a little crazy with play designs, but the drill he ran at the end of practice Thursday was probably meant more for entertainment than a serious idea.
With Caleb Williams at quarterback, Johnson lined up an offensive lineman at wide receiver going one-on-one against a defensive lineman playing cornerback. Williams completed 2 of 3.
Right tackle Darnell Wright — quite a target at 6-foot-5, 325 pounds — made a remarkably athletic catch over defensive end Montez Sweat to open the drill.
On the next snap, right guard Jonah Jackson blew past defensive tackle Andrew Billings in a matchup that totaled 659 pounds and had several steps on him as Williams lofted a pass toward the end zone.
