Ben Johnson's bold statement on Kyle Monangai will have Bears fans intrigued

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson came to the Windy City to disrupt the culture of the franchise to get it back to the winning ways fans deserved.

One way Johnson did that was by bringing back the physicality that Chicago loved seeing with the Bears teams of the 1980s under Mike Ditka. He and Bears general manager Ryan Poles found a player who fit that style of play to the T with rookie seventh-round pick running back Kyle Monangai.

The former Rutgers running back showcased his physical style of running the ball right away to Bears fans in his first preseason game against the Miami Dolphins, gaining 30 yards on six carries.
