Eric Bieniemy, the Bears’ running backs coach, likes to tell rookie Kyle Monangai that every practice is a job interview.
“I’m just trying to ace the interview every day,” Monangai said.
His job interview got off to a slow start in his first-ever trip to Soldier Field on Sunday. Playing alongside the starters in an 11-on-11 drill at “Family Fest,’ he seventh-round pick ran to his left to take a pitch from Caleb Williams, while the quarterback looked to pitch the ball to the right. Monangai was at fault — he went the wrong way — and eventually took a handoff and stumbled forward for a yard.
