Part of what makes Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen so dynamic is his ability to split out wide and run routes as a wide receiver. He’s a weapon that head coach Matt Nagy can move all around the offense, and when he’s used as such he can be a mismatch against opposing defenses.
Start in the backfield, motion to the slot, see how a defense goes with him. Open up split out wide, shift back next to the quarterback, see if a defense tightens up. Take some hand-offs from the running back position, get the ball on jet sweeps, end arounds, catch a screen pass, run a wheel route, drag routes, crossing routes, bubbles, tunnels, there’s really no limit to what Cohen can do on an offense.
