Twitter has spoken!
The Chicago Bears have a new running back in Texas’ Roschon Johnson, and he brings an all-around skillset to the team.
Here’s some of what Twitter had to say about the pick.
Love the Roschon Johnson pick. Was a consensus 3rd round talent that has minimal wear & tear. Versatile RB with some juice. #Bears

Roschon Johnson is your darkhorse Rookie of the Year candidate
He’s going to start immediately in Chicago https://t.co/ffDvsL06Aw

Bears scout John Syty on Roschon Johnson: “He’s someone we believe could really become a pillar in this organization for a really long time. … There’s a level of ‘it’ factor to this kid.”

New Bears RB Roschon Johnson earned a 90.0 rushing grade on zone runs
0.35 missed tackles forced per attempt in 2022 was the No. 1 mark in the FBS
89th percentile 10-yard split on his 40

I didn’t do a ton of homework on Running Backs but all my smart friends LOVE Roschon Johnson
Big, punishing runner — the #Bears have a type in the backfield, I bet the Bears are looking to add more between-OT running with guys like him. I’ll have more once I get into his tape

Bears southwest area scout John Syty on RB Roschon Johnson: “He fits everything Ryan and Matt are trying to accomplish. He’s a HITS principle guy. He just emulates everything we want a Chicago Bear to be. … The ‘it’ factor about this kid is special.”

Texas legend Roschon Johnson is a perfect back for Chicago. High motor and runs like a mad man. Instant starter in Chicago.

I really like Roschon Johnson! He’s a tough runner, good in pass pro and played special teams at Texas. The young man should bring leadership and toughness to the CHI. #Bears #Nfldraft

Bears fans who liked David Montgomery are also going to like Roschon Johnson.

Pretty sure Roschon Johnson will be RB1 in Chicago no later than about week 4. If he was at a different school, I think he goes round 2.

The University of Texas is lucky to have someone like Roschon Johnson

#Texas RB Roschon Johnson to Chicago…
That’s a good pick in the 4th round. Downhill power. North/South speed. Core special teams player in college. #Bears pic.twitter.com/1td6x7TM7h
