It isn't the big-name acquisition some would like to see, but the Bears may find ideal running back help in a familiar place.
When Ben Johnson was hired as Chicago Bears' head coach, the easy follow up was to put running back D'Andre Swift on a warm seat. The two spent three years together with the Detroit Lions, and Swift proved he was not up the task of being a workhorse back.
It was not for a lack of effort that Swift was not seriously displaced as the lead back during the offseason.
