Matt Eberflus’ Update On Gervon Dexter Is Terrifying

The Chicago Bears surprised a lot of people in the 2023 draft when they took Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter. While nobody argued the team needed defensive line help, the 2nd round pick didn’t fit what they needed. Dexter earned a reputation in college for being a stout run defender, using his size, length, and power to control gaps. That has obvious value to any defense, but the Bears needed pass rush help more. His stats didn’t reflect any such ability. However, head coach Matt Eberflus and GM Ryan Poles saw it differently.
