When Matt Nagy accepted the Bears’ head-coaching job, he knew of Tarik Cohen, but he didn’t know all about the 5-foot-6 running back, receiver and returner.
The 2017 fourth-round draft pick out of North Carolina A&T did it all in Sunday’s third straight victory. He caught seven passes for a game-best 121 yards (17.3-yard average) including a nine-yard TD, he rushed 13 times for 53 yards (4.1-yard average) and he returned three punts for 14 yards, just a 4.7-yard average, but he’s still fifth in the NFL with a 12.8-yard average.
“I knew about him, just from coming out of college, but I didn’t know everything about him,” Nagy said.
