Bears' 2025 Draft Stars Ready to Shine

The Chicago Bears’ 2025 draft class is already lighting up the offseason, with Luther Burden III and Kyle Monangai poised to explode in 2026. Burden, a second-round WR, exploded down the stretch as a rookie with over 600 yards and TDs, now set to be the No. 2 receiver opposite Rome Odunze. Monangai, a seventh-round RB, quietly dominated with nearly 1,000 scrimmage yards and 5 TDs behind D’Andre Swift — and with Swift potentially gone, Monangai could become the undisputed lead back. Head coach Ben Johnson is already hyping both as critical pieces: Burden for speed and reliability in the passing game, Monangai for power and versatility in the run game. Expect both to take massive leaps in their second seasons — and maybe even redefine the Bears’ offense. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
