New Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson knows the ins and outs of how to construct a high powered offense in the National Football League from his time with the Detroit Lions, who had the best record in the NFC last season.Johnson headed to the Windy City with designs on replicating and perhaps even improving upon the success he had in the Motor City.This weekend, Johnson's Bears doubled down on the offensive gameplan with the selections of Michigan tight end Colston Loveland at pick number ten and Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden at pick 39, the latter of which caught the attention of ex-Johnson player Jameson Williams of the Detroit Lions.

.Jamo texted me right after we took him and he said, 'You got a dog just like me,'" Johnson said about Burden."Give him a little bit of space and he can make big things happen.
..A dangerous player, weapon, call him what you what but I see big things in his future.
