As the NFL Draft draws closer, the Chicago Bears are making headlines and not just for their rumored interest in Boise State standout Ashton Jeanty. While many assumed Jeanty was the clear favorite if the Bears were targeting a running back at pick No. 10, new whispers suggest the front office is casting a wider net.
Jeanty has earned plenty of praise for his dynamic skill set and ability to break open games, but the Bears aren’t putting all their eggs in one basket. Sources say Chicago is exploring multiple running back prospects who could complement their evolving offensive scheme.
Among the other potential names floating around are Michigan’s Blake Corum, known for his downhill toughness, and Texas star Jonathon Brooks, whose speed and agility have turned heads. Both players offer a different flavor from Jeanty, giving the Bears flexibility depending on how the draft board shakes out.
With general manager Ryan Poles known for keeping his cards close to the chest and making bold draft moves, Chicago could easily surprise fans and analysts when they’re on the clock at No. 10. Whether it’s Jeanty or someone else, the Bears’ draft strategy at running back remains wide open.
