The Bears have announced six college coaches who will be joining Matt Eberflus' team for minicamps and training camp, as part of the NFL’s Bill Walsh Diversity Coach Fellowship.

Eberflus stated that they are keen to work together in order to achieve a common goal, and look forward to learning from one another. "These six bright coaches will be great additions to our team. I am confident and excited to watch them grow and develop during training camp."

This program is designed to provide opportunities for minority or female coaches to participate in the NFL and gain experience.

Roosevelt Williams (Hardin–Simmons), Dominic Anderson(Fayetteville State), Na'Shan Goddard (“South Carolina State”), Kefense Hynson (“Oregon State”), Ken Merchant (Pace University), Milton Patterson (Florida A&M) are the six Bears coaches.

Williams was a former Bears player. He was drafted in the third round of the 2002 draft by the team. As a rookie, he played in 13 games, with two starts, and recorded 20 tackles, two pass breaksups, and two fumble recoverys. In 2003, he played for the Browns.
