When Brian Gutekunst decided to trade away Kenny Clark and two first-round picks for Micah Parsons, he wasn’t just betting on Parsons being a game-changer. He was also betting on Devonte Wyatt to take a huge step forward. Clark’s departure made Wyatt the eldest and longest-tenured defensive tackle on the roster. Kenny Clark left some huge shoes to fill. Fortunately for Gutekunst, Wyatt has been up for the challenge.
Prior to the 2025 season, Devonte Wyatt was a rotational role player. His forte was rushing the passer. He had never played more than 50% of the defensive snaps until this season.
