The Bears improved to 2-2 with a big home win on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. While the defense has been strong all season, it was a complete team effort that sealed the victory. One player who deserves more recognition is second-year defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. The Bears 2023 second-round pick has started the season strong, recording 3 sacks in 4 games. He also boasts one of the highest pass rush win percentages among defensive tackles in the league. He’s simply been a dominant force inside.
Ryan Poles may have a few misses, but his draft hits are increasingly becoming more and more impactful. Early on, there were concerns about Gervon Dexter’s burst off the line, with some thinking he might be too slow. However, in his second year, Dexter looks noticeably quicker. The Bears defense is already strong, particularly in the secondary, but Dexter is emerging as a star on the defensive line. His growth is a promising sign for the Bears future.
