Draft reaction: Bears select CB Tyrique Stevenson No. 56 overall

The Chicago Bears add a solid talent to their cornerback room with their second pick of the round in Miami CB Tyrique Stevenson.

With ideal height, weight, speed at the position, Stevenson was able to turn his physical ability into production after he transferred to Miami in 2021. During his two seasons as a Hurricane, Stevenson put up solid numbers with nine passes defended, as well as three interceptions. In coverage he allowed a solid quarterback rating of 73.0 when thrown at during that span.

Without a ton of depth on the roster, Stevenson will be expected to start right away, and will have ample opportunity to maximize his skillset as a press man corner. Veteran Jaylon Johnson should be the number one corner, so Stevenson will be tested early, and will need to avoid the typical rookie stumbles to retain his starting spot throughout the season.
