(670 The Score) Bears right tackle Darnell Wright has been recognized among the best rookies in the NFL.
Wright was selected to the all-rookie team by the Pro Football Writers of America, as announced Tuesday. He was the lone Bears rookie to receive the honor this season.
The No. 10 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Wright started all 17 games for the Bears at right tackle.
“He’s a really good football player right now,” Bears offensive line coach Chris Morgan said in assessing Wright's rookie season. “And I think he’s going to be a great football player.
“The sky’s the limit. If he stays hungry, which I think he will because I think he’s the ultimate competitor deep down, I think he’s got the chance to be special. And I’ve been around a lot of good ones. He’s got a chance to be that.”
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, led the PFWA's all-rookie team.
