Morton was a special teams assistant for the Green Bay Packers during their Super Bowl run in 2010, so he has been a part of a championship squad.

He moved on to Seattle after five years in Green Bay, where he connected with current Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. The former running back also returned kicks in his playing days, so he has a solid knowledge base in special teams, as well.

Brown played college football at Georgia from 2004 until 2007. Like Morton, he was also a RB with experience returning kicks. He played three seasons in the NFL, spending time with the Atlanta Falcons and the Cleveland Browns.

The Bears also interviewed the 37-year-old Brown for their OC position, but ultimately settled on Waldron. A member of the Sean McVay coaching tree, Brown and Waldron worked together under McVay with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020.

In a poll conducted during the 2023 season, NFL players voted Brown as one of the top offensive coordinators in the league (he was ranked No. 2 in the poll).

Brown also spent the 2023 season working with rookie quarterback Bryce Young, so that experience could come in handy if the Bears draft Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick.

Beatty, 50, played his college ball at East Tennessee State University. He spent two years playing wide receiver in the Canadian Football League in the mid-1990s before choosing to become a coach.

His most notable connection in the Windy City is WR DJ Moore, who he coached at the University of Maryland for two years (2016-2017). In recent years, he has worked with two standout receivers in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

While Tolbert had juggled the roles of both WRs coach and pass game coordinator, the Bears now have two very well-respected coaches to fill those roles.

• Green Bay Packers: Coaching administrator (2009)
• Green Bay Packers: Special teams assistant (2010-2013)
• Seattle Seahawks: Special teams assistant (2014)
• Seattle Seahawks: Running backs assistant (2015-2016)
• Seattle Seahawks: Running backs coach (2017-2021)
• Seattle Seahawks: Run game coordinator/running backs coach (2022-2023).
