Tyrique Stevenson targets higher turnover numbers for Chicago Bears defense

Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson aims to increase his turnover contribution ahead of the 2026 season. After recording four interceptions during his 2023 rookie campaign, he tallied three interceptions across the following seasons. Stevenson credited coach Al Harris for refining his ball-conscious mindset during training. Last season, Stevenson improved his overall Pro Football Focus grade to 64.4, supported by an 85.5 grade in run defense. His development is vital for a Chicago Bears secondary looking to replicate the success of a defense that led the NFL with 33 forced turnovers in 2025. Stevenson intends to maintain this intentional, purpose-driven approach to solidify his role within the defensive unit.
