The Chicago Bears just added a wrinkle to their rivalry with the Detroit Lions. General manager Ryan Poles and the Bears selected Oregon linebacker Noah Sewell with the No. 148 pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Sewell is the younger brother of Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell, who was drafted with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft two years ago.
Noah Sewell is an inside linebacker who will compete for playing time with the Bears’ revamped group. He was a three-year starter with the Ducks and has outstanding size at the position. He joins players such as Tremaine Edmunds, T.J. Edwards, and Jack Sanborn but will most likely contribute on special teams to begin his career.
Sewell has name recognition but are Bears fans satisfied with the pick? Here is how Twitter reacted to the selection.
