Ben Johnson

For one weekend, in terms of the field work, I'm really pleased with what it looks like.

These guys are dialed in.

They're very focused.

And like we talked about a couple weeks ago, the whole coaching staff is going back to the basics, and those guys are really embracing that mindset.

That is Sam Roush.

He is considered the best blocking tight end in the draft, and I think the Bears sure think so.

Rookie minicamp is underway at Hallas Hall.

This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score.

Sam Roush, 69th overall pick.

Dramatic pause on a Friday.

I'm going to let you fill in the gaps.

It is of no offense to Sam Rauch, but I did not think that the third round at pick number 69 would be where the Bears replaced Durham Smythe.

I was never anti-short arms, and then unfortunately I saw what happened to our dear Will Campbell as a rookie last year.

Super Bowl in the AFC Championship game.

easy and safe to say that yeah we think we could put you out there for 30 to 40 percent of the snaps and be a good blocker and catch a couple balls every once in a while right now did i layla rahimi think after the season ended and i saw durham smith do that interview with uh jeff jodiak for the last playoff game did i think that i would be talking about durham smith this much no in may

I did not.

But you know what?

Sam Rauch did his thing to get drafted where he was and to impress the Bears.

So Ben Johnson, why don't you share me your vision?

I will yee.
