The Chicago Bears might’ve found another late-round gem when they drafted Tulsa pass rusher Trevis Gipson with the 155th overall pick. They certainly believe so, as evidenced by general manager Ryan Pace trading a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for an additional fifth-rounder, which was used to take Gipson.
Gipson, a two-year starter, was a force in the All-American Athletic Conference. In his first year as a starter in 2018, Gipson tallied 46 tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. He followed that up in 2019 with 15 tackles for loss and 8 sacks, which earned him first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors. He had eight forced fumbles at Tulsa in his career.
Gipson’s upside is huge. He has all of the physical tools to possibly become a starter for the Bears in the future. And he’ll get a chance to learn from the best in Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn.
Let’s take a look at what the Bears are getting with Gipson:
