NFL Scouts Reveal Ben Johnson Has A Superpower Most Play Callers Don’t

The reaction from fans and the media to the news that Ben Johnson had taken the Chicago Bears job was surprise. Out of all the jobs he could’ve taken, he chose the one that felt the least appealing on the surface. Chicago had long been a wasteland of forward thinking in football, stuck celebrating the exploits of one team 40 years ago while unable to join the modern era. Every head coach they hired seemed to fit the same criteria: conservative, unimaginative, and lacking any sort of charisma. That is why Johnson was such a thunderclap.
