After coaching against Tarik Cohen Dec. 24 when the Browns visited Soldier Field, new Bears special teams coordinator Chris Tabor is excited to work with the electrifying return specialist.

Selected in the fourth round of the draft out of North Carolina A&T, Cohen became the first NFL rookie to produce a touchdown on a rush, reception, pass and punt return since Bears Hall of Famer Gale Sayers in 1965.

The 5-6, 178-pounder generated a handful of highlight-reel plays as a rookie, but none was more spectacular than his 61-yard punt return touchdown Dec. 3 against the 49ers.
