Summary

Before Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson was a coach he was a backup QB at North Carolina. Today on the CHGO Bears Podcast, we bring on his former teammate and new Chicago State Head Coach Bobby Rome II to discuss Johnson’s rise from player to coach. Later, NFL Network’s Adam Rank joins the show to discuss a slimmer Gervon Dexter. Plus, on a recent Bears 1920 Football Drive video, GM Ryan Poles was seen referring to a player the Bears had very high on their board, calling him “probably one or two.” A reflection of Mason Graham was seen on a nearby window. Is that the player Poles was referring to? Join Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
