Ben Johnson, the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, has drawn favorable comparisons between right tackle Darnell Wright and Detroit Lions standout Penei Sewell. While last season's offensive line struggles resulted in a league-high 68 sacks against rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, Wright emerged as a solid performer amidst the chaos. His peers and Johnson have praised his potential to achieve similar accolades to Sewell, a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time First-team All-Pro.

Wright expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing his determination to uphold the expectations set upon him. This offseason, General Manager Ryan Poles has strategically bolstered the offensive line, making key trades and signings to enhance protection for Williams. Wright aims to capitalize on the newly strengthened line in his third season, which could significantly elevate the Bears' offensive performance.
