With the No. 53 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter.
Dexter was a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, and he was a three-sport athlete who also starred in basketball and track and field. Though he only played two years of high school football, he exploded onto the scene right away and finished with 18 sacks as a senior prior to taking his talents to Florida in 2020.
After showing impressive flashes to solidify himself onto NFL radars in 2021, Dexter built upon it with a strong 2022 season.
