"Nahshon Wright had one of the most charmed seasons I've ever witnessed from a Bears player. After beginning the summer buried on the training camp depth chart, Wright climbed the ladder to make it into the starting lineup when Week 1 kicked off. Injuries to players such as Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Terell Smith, and the absence of rookie Zah Frazier cleared the way for Wright to get an opportunity to shine."
"The 6-foot-4-inch, 199-pound cornerback set new career highs in seemingly every statistical category you can find while scrolling through his Pro Football Reference page. Wright played in a career-high 17 games (16 starts), collected 11 passes defended, forced a pair of fumbles, fell on a trifecta of fumble recoveries, snatched up a trio of tackles-for-loss, and even picked up his first quarterback hit."
"By the time the dust settled on Nahshon Wright's 2025 season, he had played his way into his first-ever Pro Bowl appearance. Spurred by ball skills and an incredible knack for making big plays, Wright cemented himself as one of the most memorable players in what was an unforgettable season."
