Former O-Lineman Ranks Darnell Wright Among NFL’s Best

Darnell Wright was the Chicago Bears‘ 9th overall pick in the 2023 draft. Some were surprised by that, feeling he went a little earlier than he should’ve. GM Ryan Poles wasn’t spooked. He believed the big, power, and athletic tackle fit the exact identity this team wants to build. His tireless work ethic and nastiness didn’t hurt either. All things considered, Wright had a solid rookie season. He played well in several games, some of them despite having an injured shoulder. It was validation that the Bears had made a good selection.
