This 2023 Chicago Bears Rookie is on Track for Superstardom
The 2023 NFL Draft proved quite promising for the Chicago Bears, hinting at a strong performance for the upcoming season. Amid their impressive roster, one rookie stands out, promising to take the Bears to new heights - Roschon Johnson.
Securing Johnson in the fourth round (115th overall) represents tremendous value for the Bears. If not for his backup status at Texas, his draft position would have likely been far higher. Johnson trailed behind Bijan Robinson, who was an 8th overall pick for the Atlanta Falcons. But without Robinson sharing the spotlight, Johnson would have unquestionably taken center stage.
The speculation among fans and pundits alike is that the Chicago Bears have hit the jackpot with their fourth-round pick. Johnson's undeniable talent, which could have easily seen him as a starter in any other college, might just translate into an absolute steal for the Bears.
The question remains: could Johnson emerge as an instant superstar? A rookie running back making immediate impacts is no strange occurrence in the NFL, given the relative ease with which the position adjusts to the pro level. If Johnson does turn out to be an instant sensation, it would undoubtedly mark one of Ryan Poles' most successful draft picks to date.
With Johnson's undeniable talent, we can anticipate him clocking considerable playtime in 2023. It's not far-fetched to imagine him rising to the status of the team's number one back, which would inevitably accelerate the offense's progress.
Having a superstar running back like Johnson would ease the pressure on Justin Fields, allowing him to maintain his vitality. Here's hoping that the unfolding season brings these expectations to fruition.
