Bears second-round draft pick Gervon Dexter (9) had 55 tackles, two sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss at Florida last season.After playing a read-and-react role as an interior lineman at Florida last season, Bears rookie defensive tackle Gervon Dexter lit up when asked about the opportunity to play in Matt Eberflus’ one-gap scheme that will ask Dexter to attack, disrupt and get after the quarterback.
“Oh man, I loved it,” Dexter said. “That’s one of the things I feel like I do best. That’s kind of what I love doing. It’s what I wanted to do. It’s great for me.”
