Which second-year Bears player will make the biggest impact in 2024?

The Chicago Bears have seen some impactful draft classes under general manager Ryan Poles, who has always stressed the importance of building through the NFL draft.

When looking at last year’s 2023 draft class, they have the potential to be long-term contributors at key positions. Whether it’s first-round pick Darnell Wright, who looks the part of a franchise right tackle, second-round pick Tyrique Stevenson, who emerged as a top rookie cornerback, or second-round pick Gervon Dexter, who’s stepping into a starting role this season.

Now, entering their sophomore season, the expectation is those players should take a step forward in their development as they’ll be crucial to the team’s success.

With that in mind, our Bears Wire staff is sharing their thoughts on which second-year player is poised to have the biggest impact in 2024.
