Chicago Bears met stud with special connection to Ben Johnson’s staff
The Chicago Bears are scoping out more than offensive linemen and defensive linemen during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week. The Bears are set to meet with star running back Ashton Jeanty this week.
The Bears are also going to look for help on defense.
One defender the Bears met has a special connection to a member of the new coaching staff at Halas Hall.
The Chicago Bears have a special connection with prospect
Per Adam Rank, UCLA linebacker Kain Medrano said he had a good meeting with the Bears.
“It went really well,” Medrano said of his meeting with Chicago. “One of my coach’s sons is over there, Kenny Norton III, so it was nice being able to catch up with him. But it was a good interview.”

Kenny Norton III is the son of Ken Norton Jr., the linebackers coach at UCLA. Ken helped coach Medrano to make third-team All-Big Ten honors in 2024.
Medrano recorded 50 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles for the Bruins in his senior season. The six-foot-three, 230-pound athlete out of Pueblo, Colorado recorded 166 tackles, 3.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, and three interceptions in his final three years at UCLA.
Kain Medrano would be a late Day 3 or UDFA invite
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com thinks Medrano projects as a bottom-of-the-roster or practice squad player in the league.
“Sixth-year senior and team captain with two years of starting experience,” Zierlein wrote. “Medrano’s long, lean frame is more reminiscent of a strong safety than a linebacker. He plays with good decisiveness to fill up run fits ahead of blocks, but he gets pushed around when they find him.
“He has average pursuit speed but above-average man-cover talent underneath. His missed tackle total is problematic, so he will need to stand out on special teams and as a dime linebacker to offer value as an undersized OLB.”
Medrano could be an intriguing player for the Bears to take late on Day 3 or invite as a UDFA for rookie minicamp.
