Jaylon Johnson SNUBBED?! Bears Training Camp Prove-It Battles Are LOADED

The Chicago Bears are getting closer to training camp, and the pressure is already building. On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize reacts to Jaylon Johnson missing ESPN’s Top 10 cornerbacks list and being listed only as an honorable mention. Was it disrespect, or did injuries make it fair? With Johnson and Kyler Gordon needing healthy seasons, the Bears secondary could be the key to Dennis Allen’s defense taking a major step forward in 2026.

Haize also breaks down one Bears player to watch at every position heading into training camp. On defense, all eyes are on Austin Booker, Jordan van den Berg, Devin Bush, Tyrique Stevenson, and Dillon Thieneman as Chicago looks for pass rush help, defensive line depth, speed at linebacker, CB2 stability, and safety versatility.

On offense, Haize dives into Caleb Williams, Kyle Monangai, Zavion Thomas, Sam Roush, and the center battle between Garrett Bradbury and Logan Jones. Can Caleb take another MVP-level leap? Is Monangai ready to push for RB1? Could Zavion Thomas become Ben Johnson’s most creative weapon? And can Sam Roush earn snaps with his blocking?

Bears fans, training camp is almost here — and these battles could shape Chicago’s entire 2026 season.
