In the 97-year history of the Chicago Bears, one player stands tall above all others in terms of a rookie debut.
And that honor goes to none other then Tarik Cohen, who stands 5’6.”
Cohen tallied up 158 all-purpose yards; 66 rushing, 47 receiving and 45 punt returning on 16 total touches.
Listed at 181 pounds, Cohen came very close to having more yards than pounds.
His debut was impressive. He was as versatile as he was effective: of the five players for the Bears since 1950 to have over 100 all-purpose yards in the first game of their first season, Cohen is the only one to register receiving, rushing and return yardage.
