"We saw Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson lean heavily on the run game with D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, which opened up Chicago's passing game. And because of an effective ground attack, quarterback Caleb Williams was able to take some leaps in his development. It isn't a coincidence that Williams excelled as the run game thrived, as the two tend to go hand-in-hand."
"Ben Johnson loves the run game and being able to have a two-headed monster in the backfield. Not to mention, being able to lure one of the better players in the NFC from the Super Bowl champion, now to your team, the expertise, what he can do on the field. I think it goes deeper than just acquiring Kenneth Walker."
Kenneth Walker III would provide a powerful complement to the Bears' backfield and suit a scheme prioritizing the run. Ben Johnson's play-calling has leaned on a strong rushing attack to open the passing game. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai demonstrated how a productive ground game can boost quarterback Caleb Williams' development. Adding a Pro Bowl, Super Bowl-caliber runner could create a two-headed rushing attack and enhance outside weapons' effectiveness. Significant salary-cap, contractual, and roster hurdles would need addressing before pursuing such a free-agent acquisition. The trade-off between cost and strategic fit will determine feasibility.
