Ben Johnson was known for ingenuity, creativity and trickery with the Lions. Is he already bringing it to the Bears?
We all know the best plays in football are trick plays.
Maybe not the best, but they sure are fun.
Could it have been last day of school vibes or is new Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson already cooking up some new trick plays for his team?
The offensive line got in on the fun in today’s final mandatory minicamp practice but so did the quarterbacks.
The team’s official account posted a video of quarterback Caleb Williams catching a pass from wide receiver Devin Duvernay.
I know I wrote this article and headline, but it is probably a little too soon to get amped for trick plays. I doubt Johnson would roll those out for the media in June.
But you never know. Williams shows off his wheels and athleticism to catch the pass on the run.
Johnson orchestrated plenty of trick plays with the Detroit Lions, including left tackle Penai Sewell and QB Jared Goff catching passes and the infamous (among Bears fans) stumble bum, which scored a touchdown against the Bears last season.
Do you think we should expect to see Caleb or Wright catching passes or is it too soon to be dreaming up trick plays?
