The Chicago Bears added to their linebacker group in the 2025 NFL draft with the selection of Maryland's Ruben Hyppolite II in the fourth round.
Chicago had a need at the position after losing veteran Jack Sanborn in free agency, and they'll look to call on Noah Sewell, Amen Ogbongbemiga, or Hyppolite to have a prominent role alongside veterans T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edumnds. The team has already told Hyppolite that they feel he can be a versatile weapon for them on defense, and coordinator Dennis Allen will work with the rookie to find what role best suits him.
