Ben Johnson is preparing for his first NFL Draft as a head coach with the Chicago Bears. While he knows the team still has numerous holes to fix on the roster, Johnson is undoubtedly looking at the best offensive talent in the 2025 class.
The Chicago Bears were an active team this offseason in free agency building up the trenches with veteran help on the offensive and defensive lines, but one of the more overlooked additions made to the roster was wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.
It certainly feels like the Chicago Bears are finished writing checks in 2025 NFL free agency, but it sort of felt that way before they inked wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay, too.
How many of the first running backs selected in the NFL Draft since the year 2000 can you name in five minutes?
New Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus signed on with the team after spending the last few years with the Falcons, Eagles, and Commanders. He thinks coming to Chicago alongside a DT Grady Jackson, who he was teammates with in Atlanta, has been beneficial. “It’s going to help a lot,” Zaccheaus said, via Adam Jahns of The Athletic.
With an established top tier and some young options revealing themselves last season, here is a look at where clubs' QB depth charts stand. Contracts and long-term outlooks do not factor in here; these rankings apply only to 2025 on-field capabilities.
Zaccheaus has recently played with both Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts. New Chicago Bears receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has seen what a talented young quarterback can do up close after watching 2025’s No.
The Chicago Bears became a much better team in March. New head coach Ben Johnson can ask second-year quarterback Caleb Williams to step up into a pocket behind a veteran interior offensive line of Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dalman.
As Ben Johnson gets acclimated to the Chicago Bears, the new head coach is still figuring out his wide receiver room. Alongside DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, the Bears recently signed Olamide Zaccheaus to a one-year contract.
Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus went from playing in Washington with QB Jayden Daniels, who was the second overall pick in last year’s draft, to signing with Chicago where he will now have the opportunity to play with first overall pick QB Caleb Williams.
Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus spent the 2024 season playing with quarterback Jayden Daniels in Washington and he told reporters on Monday that "people knew early on" that Daniels was ready for life in the NFL.
It's easy to see why wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus fits into the Ben Johnson offense with the Bears when he talks about blocking. No, really. After all, he might be a wide receiver but it was Johnson who tells Bears receivers "no block, no rock." "It takes everybody," Zaccheaus said.
Last week, the Chicago Bears boosted their wide receiver corps when they signed veteran Olamide Zaccheaus in free agency. Zaccheaus will compete for the spot Keenan Allen had in 2024 as a slot receiver.
The Chicago Bears have been very busy this offseason. With Ben Johnson as the new head coach in town, it's quite possible that the Bears could be a contender in 2025.
What the Bears have in Olamide Zaccheaus is a potentially explosive slot receiver and a competitor for the punt return job. What the Bears have above all else is an undersized and overlooked receiver who went undrafted but has overachieved as a pass catcher who can break a big gain on occasion.
The Chicago Bears were once again active in free agency. After flipping the interior of the offensive line with the Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Drew Dalman additions, attention shifted to adding playmakers on the roster.
While the Bears won’t steal headlines with their latest move, they’re still adding an experienced wide receiver coming off a career season.
