Cornerback Nahshon Wright, who just a year ago was a practice squad player for the Vikings, is the Bears’ latest Pro Bowl player. Wright replaces Quinyon Mitchell, the Eagles cornerback.
When the Bears signed Wright to a one-year deal, leaning on his experience with defensive backs coach Al Harris in Dallas, they expected he’d be a depth piece. Wright got training camp experience because of Jaylon Johnson’s summertime injury, though, and made the team.
He played all 17 games for the Bears and led the NFL with eight takeaways.
