The Chicago Bears achieved an 11-6 record in 2025, winning the NFC North and securing a playoff victory under new head coach Ben Johnson. Despite questions about 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams, he excelled with nearly 4,000 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, while the defense struggled, ranking 29th in total defense. In the 2026 NFL Draft, the Bears selected Zion Young, an EDGE from Missouri, addressing their need for a versatile run-stopper and potential pass rusher. Young’s strong performance in college, alongside his ability to complement existing defensive players, positions him as a valuable asset for Chicago.
