## 2026 Outlook

Chicago Bears' first-round draft pick anchoring the right side of the offensive line. In ESPN's 2026 survey of 70 executives, coaches, and scouts, Wright emerged as the league's top-rated right tackle, ranking 6th among all offensive tackles. ESPN noted his 95.2% pass block win rate (4th in the league) and praised his "power and brute strength," with one evaluator saying "He can do whatever he wants on a football field." Wright has established himself as a physical force who outmuscles elite edge rushers like Brian Burns and Jalen Carter in high-leverage situations (per ESPN Survey: Darnell Wright is the Top Right Tackle in the NFL - Windy City Gridiron).

While his short career has included some injuries, Wright has remained durable and productive when on the field. His elite blend of pass-blocking efficiency and run-game physicality positions him as a cornerstone tackle heading into 2026, critical to protecting Caleb Williams and anchoring Ben Johnson's run-heavy offense.
