Bears hire Matt Aponte, Kyle DeVan as assistant coaches

The Chicago Bears have made significant coaching staff additions, hiring Matt Aponte as assistant quarterbacks coach and Kyle DeVan as assistant offensive line coach. Aponte, who previously served as the offensive coordinator at the University of San Diego, is recognized for developing a high-scoring offense, which included a standout quarterback and a top receiver. His experience aligns well with new offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's vision for the team, particularly in adapting their style to suit quarterback Caleb Williams. DeVan, who has a history with Bears' offensive line coach Dan Roushar, brings extensive NFL and college coaching experience, enhancing the offensive line's development. Both hires reflect the Bears' commitment to building a competitive coaching staff as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team is focusing on young, promising talent to elevate their offensive strategy.
