The Chicago Bears added another linebacker to their bevvy of additions this offseason, selecting Oregon’s Noah Sewell with the No. 148 pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Sewell joins the Bears in hopes of competing with the team’s new and improved linebacker room that includes Tremaine and Edmunds, T.J. Edwards, and Jack Sanborn.
Sewell will look to earn reps on defense but will also play a role on special teams with his unique size and strength. He had impressive tackle totals in 2021, notching 114 (8.5 for a loss) but those numbers dipped down to 56 tackles (5.5 for a loss) in 2022. Here are a few things to know about the new linebacker coming to Chicago.
