The Chicago Bears are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, aiming to bolster their roster under the new leadership of head coach Ben Johnson. After signing D'Andre Swift last offseason, there are doubts about his performance as a lead back. Johnson may look for a dynamic duo similar to the one he had at Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. The Bears are in a strong position to draft one of the top running backs as they hold two second-round picks.

Five prospects stand out for the Bears: Ashton Jeanty from Boise State is a potential high first-round pick with record-breaking stats; Omarion Hampton from North Carolina is expected to go early in the first round; Kaleb Johnson from Iowa fits well within the Bears' draft range; TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State could provide depth; and Quinshon Judkins, who had a solid season, is noted as a late-round option. Each brings unique skills that could reshape the Bears' running game.
