Kyle Monangai

The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs reports that Bears head coach Ben Johnson listed rookie RB Kyle Monangai among the players who “impressed throughout spring action.”

The Bears drafted Monangai in the seventh round after a productive college career at Rutgers. Monangai is unproven as a pass-catcher but did establish himself as a proficient tackle-breaking rusher at the college level. If he continues to perform well, he could challenge Roschon Johnson for the No. 2 rushing role. Johnson also listed TE Joel Wilson, EDGE Dominique Robinson & LB Ruben Hyppolite as players who have impressed him thus far.
