Rookie Rundown: How does Gervon Dexter fit into the Bears’ defense?

With the 53rd pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Gervon Dexter Sr., and immediately I saw him become controversial on Twitter.

To some, he’s a clear reach — after all, how could a player with his get-off issues prove worthy of a mid-2nd round pick?

To others, he’s a 3T prospect in the mold of Chris Jones and DeForest Buckner, despite both of those comparisons’ famous long arms measuring over 2 inches longer than Dexter’s.

So who is he? And where does he fit on the Bears’ defense?
