4 things to know about new Bears WR Tyler Scott

From his pro comparison to his versatility, here are a few things to know about new Bears receiver Tyler Scott.

The playmakers keep coming for the Chicago Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft. Shortly after their selection of running back Roschon Johnson, the Bears added a weapon for quarterback Justin Fields when they drafted Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott with the No. 133 pick.

Scott has top-end speed as a receiver and can take the top off a defense while also having the ability to be a dynamic playmaker when the ball is in his hands. He caught 54 passes for 899 receiving yards and five touchdowns during his final season with the Bearcats and gives Fields a new weapon to work with in a revamped wide receiver room.

Here are a few things to know about Scott and what he brings to the Bears.

4 things to know about new Bears RB Roschon Johnson

From his high character to quarterback skills, here are a few things to know about Bears running back Roschon Johnson.

The Chicago Bears opened up Day 3 of the NFL Draft by adding a legitimate offensive weapon to the mix. Texas Running back Roschon Johnson was drafted by the Bears with the No. 115 pick in the fourth round. The Bears initially held the top spot of the day at No. 103 but traded down 12 spots with the New Orleans Saints, picking up pick No. 165 in the fifth round as well.

Johnson comes to the Bears after backing up star running back Bijan Robinson, but is an effective player in his own right. He’s a punishing runner who can break tackles and should compete for touches almost immediately  on offense with the likes of Khalil Herbert and D’Onta Foreman.

Here are a few things to know about the newest Bears running back.

4 things to know about new Bears DT Zacch Pickens

The Bears are getting a great athlete in Zacch Pickens who has a goal of stopping the run. Here are four things to know about him.

The Chicago Bears completed their trio of Day 2 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft with yet another defender. General manager Ryan Poles continued to fortify the defensive line, selecting South Carolina defensive tackle Zacch Pickens with the No. 64 pick.

Pickens was the second defensive tackle the Bears took in the draft, joining Gervon Dexter Sr. out of Florida. He totaled 42 tackles last season (four for a loss) and 2.5 sacks with the Gamecocks. In addition to Pickens and Dexter, the Bears also took cornerback Tyrique Stevenson from Miami (FL) in the second round as the other selection of the day.

The Bears are hoping Pickens helps solve their woes at the defensive line position with his unique athleticism. Here are four things to know about the new Bear.

5 things to know about new Bears DT Gervon Dexter Sr.

From beating out Jalen Carter as a recruit to his impressive tackle totals, here are five things to know about Gervon Dexter Sr.

After focusing on the offensive line in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears moved to the defensive line on Day 2. Their first pick of the day was defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. out of Florida with the No. 53 overall pick.

Dexter has the ideal size and talent for a defensive tackle, standing at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, but has work to do when it comes to his technique. He’s still raw at just 21 years old and should benefit from working with the Bears coaching staff. He could see meaningful playing time sooner rather than later, though. The Bears are still thin at the interior of their defensive line with Justin Jones and Andrew Billings likely entering the season as starters. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a key part of the rotation.

Dexter is the first big swing at improving the defensive line that Poles has taken in the draft since he became general manager. Here are five things to know about the new Bear.

Five things to know about Texas A&M ahead of regular-season finale

Here are five things to know about the struggling Texas A&M Aggies

LSU will face Texas A&M on Saturday to put a bow on its division and conference slate.

The two programs enter the contest trending in opposite directions, with LSU fresh off an SEC West title and the Aggies just ending their longest losing streak in 50 years. LSU hasn’t won in College Station since 2016, dropping its last two trips, including the seven overtime loss in 2018.

The programs most recently met in Baton Rouge last year. It was Ed Orgeron’s last game at LSU and featured a game-winning touchdown catch by [autotag]Jaray Jenkins[/autotag].

A win for LSU would move the Tigers to 10-2 and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive — setting up a showdown with the Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta.

Here are five things to know about the Texas A&M Aggies.

Five things to know about UAB heading into Week 12 contest

The Tigers return home after narrowly escaping Arkansas. At 8-2 with the west already in hand and playoff hopes alive, LSU is looking to inch closer to double-digit wins and take care of business until it gets its chance in Atlanta.

UAB is a little bit better than your average .500 Group of Five team. They’re led by one of the best running backs in college football and a strong secondary. Here are five things to know about the UAB Blazers.

It’ll be a night game under the lights in Death Valley and should be one of the better environments LSU has produced since [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] was on campus. However, the Crimson Tide are no strangers to crowd noise and have survived hostile environments in Baton Rouge before.

It’s a contest that features some dynamic quarterbacks playing their best ball in Bryce Young and [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag]. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has discussed how he embraces the opportunity of having to go through Alabama to win the SEC. He’ll have to do just that on Saturday if he wants to give the Tigers a shot in Atlanta.

Here’s what you need to know about this Crimson Tide team.

Cowboys vs Bears: 6 things to know about Week 8 opponent

The Bears may have moved old friend Robert Quinn, but a reunion is still on the menu. @BenGrimaldi looks into this and other things to know before Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a victory that gets them back on track with a 5-2 record.
