"While Nazeeh Johnson isn't a household name, he is someone with worthwhile NFL experience. A seventh-round pick (259th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson has played in 29 games of experience - including six starts as a safety in 2024. Given his speccial teams experience, I can see a path for Johnson to make the Bears if he can excel in that phase of the game and chip in occasionally on defense."
"No big deal. I still think the team should go out and find someone who can provide quality secondary depth. Considering the injuries the Bears dealt with on defense last year, I tend to believe because that players who can help in the defensive backfield and on special teams are invaluable."
"On the surface, I'm into players like Johnson as possible Bears fits. Reading this piece from Pro Football Focus that rattles off the 10 most physical coverage defenders from the 2024 season piqued my interest. Johnson came in at No. 8 on the list. And while I can't fully grasp the physical defender metric PFF cooked up for this post, I do get the gist. At a minimum, I do like the attempt at putting a number on a unique skill."
The Chicago Bears hosted former Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Nazeeh Johnson for a visit. Johnson was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft and has appeared in 29 games, including six starts as a safety in 2024. He recorded 66 total tackles and one sack with Kansas City and contributed as a key special teamer. He also met with the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles recently. The Bears’ interest centers on adding secondary depth and special teams value, especially given defensive injuries from the previous season. Johnson is viewed as a possible roster fit if he performs well on special teams and adds occasional defensive contributions.
