The Bears drafted a Texas running back — but not Bijan Robinson.
Instead of the first-round star, the Bears landed on Roschon Johnson, the Longhorns’ backup and an honorable mention All-Big 12 player last year, with Pick 115. In four seasons with the Longhorns — which comprised only five starts — he ran 392 times for 2,190 yards.
He’ll be part of a Bears running back rotation that includes D’Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert. The Bears signed Foreman to a one-year deal in March after making an offer to David Montgomery, only to watch him sign with the Lions.
