He&#8217;s been a great veteran presence for the defense and team as a whole, and he sees Johnson&#8217;s vision for this team.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Byard raved about how Johnson &#8220;breathes competition&#8221; and his energy &#8220;raises the level of everybody on the team.&#8221; Also, Johnson is already talking about a building something lasting in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to win the Super Bowl,&#8221; Byard said. &#8220;Ben Johnson wants to build a dynasty. We want to be the guys who get this thing started. I want to be one of the guys who kind of builds the foundation of that and continue to go as long as we possibly can. That&#8217;s the goal, but we have a long way to go to be able to accomplish that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having a respected veteran like Byard buying into Johnson&#8217;s philosophy, it&#8217;s a big sign of leadership for this franchise. Johnson clearly wants to build a foundation of winning in Chicago, and getting team leaders like Byard to buy in will be crucial to building a culture that leads to success.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/chicago-bears\/326\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bears;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bears<\/a> Wire on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheBearsWire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBearsWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bearswireusat\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Bears Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/bearswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/bears\/2025\/07\/26\/bears-ben-johnson-wants-to-build-dynasty\/85376409007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ben Johnson wants to build dynasty with Chicago Bears;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ben Johnson wants to build dynasty with Chicago Bears<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is no denying the impression that Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has made early on in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,1035,692,391,2493,7,4861,6,8896],"class_list":{"0":"post-237518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-bears","9":"tag-ben-johnson","10":"tag-chicago","11":"tag-chicago-bears","12":"tag-chicagobears","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-kevin-byard","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-training-camp"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114919354270593763","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
