Grading Chicago Bears offensive line after ten weeks of 2023 season
Darnell Wright: 650 snaps
Primary matchups: Lukas Van Ness, Kinglsey Enagbare, Rashan Gary, Shaq Barrett, Yaya Diaby, George Karlaftis, Nik Bonitto, Jonathan Cooper, Montez Sweat, Danielle Hunter, Maxx Crosby, Joey Bosa, Tuli Tuipulotu, Cameron Jordan, DJ Johnson
Darnell Wright has been the best thing about the Chicago Bears in an ugly season for their offensive line. First, he has only missed five snaps, all coming against the Las Vegas Raiders. Besides that, he has been an ironman, and we know that he is playing through something. More than that, look at the primary names he has matched up against.
Gary, Barrett, Sweat, Hunter, Crosby, Bosa, and Jordan are some of the premier pass rushers in the NFL. All of them come to Darnell Wright. Wright has given up his sacks, and there are notable losses against Crosby, Jordan, Hunter, Sweat, Gary, and even Chris Jones.
Still, for a rookie to even hang with those names is notable, and he has. He can still clean up his feet a bit, and he lunges at times in the run game. Still, he can work out a lot of his issues. The Chicago Bears have something in Darnell Wright.
Grade: B
