After the team's third and final exercise this week, the Chicago Bears' mandatory mini camp officially wrapped up Thursday afternoon, and it seems everyone has trebles based on the ongoing drills. The coaching staff was creative in passing training, involving offensive wingers and quarterbacks, which created some memorable highlights.

All in all, it was a detail-oriented over the days of Halas Hall, when head coach Ben Johnson continued to build a new culture inside the locker room. Not surprisingly, most eyes are quarterback Caleb Williams, and the starters are healthy enough, but that doesn't mean they are the most prominent players. At least according to Johnson.

After the second day of practice, Chgo's Mark Carman challenged Johnson to share his most prominent players. It took Johnson a day to get ready, but he had several names ready when he met with the media on Thursday: Defensive end Dominique Robinson, defender Ruben Hyppolite, tight-fitting Joel Wilson and Kyle Monangai.

Robinson, a fourth-year stormtrooper, has flashed through offseason classes in the past, but it is worth noting when he stands out to his new coaching staff, with no contact with him before. “Even without the mat, he did a great job, consistently accelerating the momentum or hitting the inside,” Johnson said. “He did a great job there, and then of course, he had some special teams and was proud of it.” Robinson is fighting for the roster for the Bears to return to training camp this year.

Although Robinson is the name Johnson calls it, he believes Juehpret has made the most progress. "I think the players we've seen are the biggest improvements from when he stepped in to now," Johnson claimed. "He's doing a great job in learning - he's swimming a little bit - but he's taking it seriously, and coach Richard Smith has done a great job with him over the course of the past few weeks." Hyppolite is arguably the most controversial option the Bears picked in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft for Maryland, but it sounds like Johnson is impressed by where he is.

Johnson moved to offense and couldn't help but pay attention to Wilson's impressive reception. "You saw his big grab today. Wilson is a practice team player who is getting more reps with rookie Colston Loveland but is still trying to get back into action from offseason shoulder surgery. Despite his hard and uphill battle, it's always good when the coach notices those players at the bottom of the lineup.

Eventually, seventh round rookie Monangai had a positive early impression of the staff. "I'm so grateful for his attention to the details and his pride, and how fast he's also," Johnson said. Monangai was a main force at Rutgers, and people believe he could use a shallow water running group and become one of the main ball carriers in 2025.

It was June, and it was a long time before Week 1. Although these players have no guarantees, it is encouraging to hear that Johnson thinks they are challenging.
