If used properly, we have a good pick here.
Biggest surprise
In early May, no one knew just what to expect from fourth-round pick Tarik Cohen, the 5-foot-6 running back out of North Carolina A&T. But the Bears knew early during organized team activities that they had a weapon. Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has found ways to get creative with Cohen and the athletic and energetic rookie has responded by catching a touchdown pass, running for one and throwing for another.
Cohen leads the team in catches (28), has 462 yards from scrimmage through eight games and has been part of four of the Bears’ 12 longest plays from scrimmage so far, including a 70-yard catch in Week 7 against the Panthers.
Defenses have begun to pay greater attention to Cohen. And in October he averaged only 2.0 yards on his 24 carries. The Bears now must figure ways to adjust in the chess game, creating new opportunities for the player coordinator Dowell Loggains calls “the best playmaker we have.”
