Fans were thrilled when the Chicago Bears brought in Ben Johnson as their new head coach, but they weren’t alone—former players like Devin Hester also voiced excitement about the hire.
As the Bears gear up for the NFL Draft and their first season with Johnson at the helm, Hester shared why he supports the decision.
During an appearance on the “Up and Adams” show with Kay Adams, Hester said he’s a big fan of the move, pointing out that Johnson brings the kind of offensive approach Chicago has needed—something he demonstrated as Detroit’s offensive coordinator.
“I love that hire they made,” Hester said.
“The OC from Detroit. That’s the style of offense we’ve been missing. That’s why I say adding another running back in this system, with that backfield versatility, it’ll open up the passing game. And if he installs that kind of offense, the defense will feed off the energy.”
