Few players stir as much intrigue in the Bears’ offense as Damien Williams, the newly arrived running back who was last seen turning the field into his own pyrotechnic show as the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV.
In theory, Williams is exactly the type of threat who can add some punch to an offense that spent the last two seasons sleepwalking. He totaled 1,001 yards from scrimmage in 14 games (playoffs included) in 2019 before opting out of last season amid the pandemic. He runs with power and speed, plus he offers coach Matt Nagy an option in the slot or out wide.
