Once again, I’m asking four of my friends in the league to evaluate the entirety of the Chicago Bears organization as we head into the 2025 season. Today’s focus is the running back position.
**On D’Andre Swift:** _“Shane’s usage of Swift last season was just odd. He’s a dangerous player in the passing game and I would think that’s where Ben will primarily use him.”_
**On D’Andre Swift, again**: _“Not my favorite player but can be useful. Our defensive coaches thought if you hit him hard early in the game, he’d go into a bit of a shell.”_
**On Roschon Johnson:** _“I hadn’t thought about him in a long time so I looked into his production. I like the touchdown numbers last year. 6 TDs in 55 carries? Excellent. But there’s a problem. You’re asking a guy who struggles to stay on the field to take your most physical carries. That doesn’t work for me.”_

**On Kyle Monangai:** _“Fans will fall in love with him late in preseason games but we just didn’t see a bigtime back on tape. If he contributes on specials, it’s a bonus.”_
**Is this group good enough to start the season with?** _“Yes._ _Everybody wants to mention Barkley and the Eagles, but the other team in the Super Bowl lost their back in like Week 1 and were starting guys off the street in October. You don’t need stars.”_
