Bears Training Camp Sleepers: Luther Burden Hype, Logan Jones Buzz & Super Bowl Pressure

Bears Training Camp Sleepers: Luther Burden Hype, Logan Jones Buzz & Super Bowl Pressure

Author: The B.R.E.A.K.S Media July 22, 2026 Duration: 22:02

The Chicago Bears are heading into training camp with one of the most exciting offensive groups in recent franchise history — but beyond the big names, there are several sleepers who could shape the 2026 season.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down one offensive sleeper to watch at every position, including Tyson Bagent/Miller Moss in the quarterback room, Kyle Monangai at running back, Zavion Thomas at wide receiver, Sam Roush at tight end and Caden Barnett on the offensive line. Can Monangai close the carry gap with D’Andre Swift? Could Zavion Thomas become Ben Johnson’s gadget weapon? Will Sam Roush earn snaps through blocking in 12 and 13 personnel?

Haize also reacts to rookie center Logan Jones drawing comparisons to former Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman. With Garrett Bradbury expected to start, Jones may not be rushed — but his athleticism, intelligence and college résumé make him one of the most important young linemen to watch in camp.

Plus, the Luther Burden hype train is out of control — and maybe for good reason. ESPN’s Andrew Hawkins named Burden his breakout wide receiver pick for 2026, pointing to his physicality, yards-after-catch ability, contested catches and route running. With DJ Moore gone and Caleb Williams entering another year in Ben Johnson’s offense, could Burden become a true No. 1 option?

Finally, Haize tackles the Bears’ growing Super Bowl hype. Chicago has the talent, coaching and quarterback to make noise, but have they actually earned contender status yet? Or are analysts rushing the timeline for a team that still has defensive questions?

Topics include: Chicago Bears training camp, Bears sleepers, Luther Burden breakout, Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson offense, Logan Jones, Drew Dalman, Kyle Monangai, D’Andre Swift, Zavion Thomas, Sam Roush, Caden Barnett, Bears Super Bowl hype, Bears 2026 season preview, Chicago Bears Central.
