Bears right tackle Darnell Wright has work to do on his technique like any other rookie, but is off to a strong start with his conditioning.

The Bears need first-round pick Darnell Wright to be an immediate starter at right tackle, and his next step toward that goal will be sharpening his technique during training camp as he goes full speed against NFL pass rushers for the first time.

He appears to be in good position to do that after an impressive offseason.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles acknowledged it’ll likely take time for Wright to develop into a polished player, but raved about his physique when players reported to Halas Hall on Tuesday.
