WATCH: Chicago Bears WR Jahdae Walker is here to stay after eye-opening performance in Week 1 victory

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson wanted his offense to set records this season.

After his impressive 59-37 victory in Week 1, you could say he’s off to a good start.

Johnson watched his rushing attack gain 291 yards. This is just days after the team extended starting RB D’Andre Swift, who himself went for 124 yards and 3 touchdowns. A massive day for this Bears offense, which proved to itself that it will be one of the most prolific units in football this season.

Another key performer today was undrafted second-year wideout Jahdae Walker, who caught his third career NFL touchdown in the victory.

Walker, a former Texas A&M Aggie, has made a name for himself these past few seasons and has proven to be an asset as a blocker outside. Today, that skill was on full display, as he showed on multiple occasions why he is on this roster.

Walker looked great in today’s victory and has gained plenty of attention on social media with his blocking ability. This, of course, is an addition to his impressive skill as a receiver, as he also caught a touchdown from Caleb Williams today.

The former Aggie also made some excellent plays on kickoff duty, providing a bone-crunching hit to Panthers returner Jimmy Horn Jr. Walker stepped up big today, and it was clear the Bears appreciated it, rewarding him with a late-game touchdown.

Head coach Ben Johnson spoke on Walker’s performance postgame.

“He practiced his tail off this week,” Johnson said. “One of our more consistent receivers. Thought he did a heck of a job. To see him get some benefit from it, I think, is a beautiful thing.”

He’s right. When you can get production from your depth receivers in multiple facets of the game, it’s a big win for any team.

The Chicago Bears set all kinds of records during their Week 1 win in Carolina, as they tied the record for the second-most points scored by a team in Week 1 with 59.

All the more impressive on the road, against a worthy defense. The sky is truly the limit for this Bears offense, as coach Ben Johnson has repeatedly mentioned his ambition to make this a record-setting unit.

Will Jahdae Walker become a bigger part of this side of the ball? After today, I can’t see why it isn’t possible. Not only was he effective as a receiver, but he was equally effective on special teams and as a blocker. You can’t ask for much more out of your fourth-string WR, as the effort was apparent.

During the preseason, Walker was just as impressive, making some highlight-reel catches.

Time will tell when it comes to how historic this Chicago Bears offense becomes. It’s a long season, and it’ll likely be filled with ups and downs.

However, if they continue to get elite production from these depth spots, I don’t see how they won’t continue to dominate.
