The Chicago Bears have selected Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai with the 233rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. This is their final selection of the draft barring a trade up.
Here’s what NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had to say about Monangai: “Short but stout two-time team captain who is bundled tightly into a compact, muscular frame. Monangai is quicker than fast and lacks breakaway speed but can change the track of the run at a moment’s notice with unpredictable cuts at sharp angles. His vision is average and his lack of run-lane discipline will irk offensive line coaches, but he creates yardage out of nowhere and has exceptional contact balance to repel would-be tacklers. He lacks ideal third-down value, so teams will need to be comfortable with tabbing Monangai as an early-down backup who can handle a heavier carry load if needed.”
