Nahshon Wright Named to NFC Pro Bowl for Outstanding 2025 Season
Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright has been selected for the NFC roster in the upcoming Pro Bowl Games, marking his first Pro Bowl appearance. Wright, who was a practice squad player for the Vikings just a year ago, earned this honor after leading the NFL with eight takeaways during a breakout 2025 season. His notable plays include a game-sealing interception against the Steelers and a crucial fumble recovery that helped the Bears secure a victory over the Giants. Wright's season was characterized by increased confidence and recognition from coaches, culminating in his Pro Bowl selection, which he responded to with excitement and gratitude. He is the fourth Bears player to be named to the Pro Bowl this year, joining Kevin Byard, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dalman. The Pro Bowl Games will be held on February 3 in San Francisco, featuring a flag football format. Despite his achievements, Wright expressed some disappointment about initially being overlooked for the Pro Bowl, but he remains focused on continuing to improve and hopes to stay with the Bears beyond 2025.
