As the Chicago Bears enter the 2025 NFL season with a fresh defensive identity under new coordinator Dennis Allen, one name quietly gaining traction is third-year linebacker Noah Sewell. Once a promising prospect out of Oregon, his first two seasons in the league have been limited to
special teams. But that may be about to change.
Drafted 148th overall in 2023, he has been overshadowed by other defenders, Gervon Dextor Sr., and Tyrique Stevenson, who was drafted in the same year and have been a starter the last two seasons. But his older brother is Penei Sewell, a two-time All-Pro offensive lineman playing for the divisional rival Detroit Lions, who has won the NFC North the last two seasons, including a trip to the NFC Championship game two years ago.
