Film study: New Bears LB Noah Sewell a physical, nasty defender

With the No. 148 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Oregon linebacker Noah Sewell.

Seen by many as one of the top defensive prospects heading into the 2022 college football season, Sewell was the Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2020. He followed that up with a first-team Pac-12 nomination in 2021, while earning second-team recognition in his final season with the Ducks.

The brother of Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell, the younger Sewell is an accomplished collegiate defender who projects as very good value in the fifth round.
