Pro Football Focus has ranked Chicago Bears right tackle Darnell Wright at No. 15 in their latest tackle rankings, which surprised many. Wright was previously recognized as the sixth best tackle by NFL executives and coaches in an ESPN poll. His ranking by PFF is attributed to his penalty history, despite his strong performance in run blocking and pass protection, evidenced by a career-low three sacks allowed last season. The Bears value Wright highly, having signed him to a four-year, $116 million contract, making him the second-highest paid offensive lineman in the league. Wright's role will remain crucial for the Bears' offense this season.
