Link to story Bears | Swift gets coaching staff excited Wed May 15, 03:43 PM
Kevin Fishbain, from the Athletic, reports Chicago Bears running backs coach Chad Morton said he's "excited" about using D'Andre Swift as a pass catcher out of the backfield.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how much Bears' OC Shane Waldron plans to throw Swift the ball. With rookie QB Caleb Williams under center, short passes can work as long handoffs as the team sets up their young passer for success. Swift will compete with Khalil Herbert for pass-catching duties in the backfield. He'll also compete with Herbert and Roschon Johnson for carries in 2024. Let's see how this shakes out in training camp. |

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was officially named the starter by head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday, May 10.

There are plenty of weapons around him, and if Williams finished 2024 as a QB1 for Fantasy GMs we wouldn't be surprised. Right now, most are drafting him as a QB2 with upside. |

Bears | Marvin Harrison Jr. visiting Bears Mon Apr 8, 11:51 AM

| Footballguys view: Assuming the Bears select QB Caleb Williams with the first pick overall, it's hard to imagine Harrison, widely considered the top wideout in this year's class, lasting until the team's second pick in the first round (the ninth overall). Nonetheless, peforming due dilegence makes sense. |
