Darnell Wright started his Chicago Bears career on a high note thanks to an honest mix-up.
The rookie offensive tackle received praise from Bears general manager Ryan Poles after he “crushed” the team’s conditioning test because Wright mistakenly trained for the wide receivers’ conditioning test, making the offensive linemen’s far easier.
“I was looking at the wide receivers’ running portion of the workout, so I was doing theirs. So then I came back and obviously, we have different, so,” Wright said. As a result of his training, Wright lost 16 pounds of fat after weighing in at 333 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine in March and feels it made him lighter on the field.
Darnell Wright ‘crushed’ the Bears’ conditioning test because he trained off of the wide receiver version.Darnell Wright #58 of the Chicago Bears looks on during training camp at Halas Hall on July 26, 2023.“More distance and lower time,” Wright said of the receivers’ version of the test. “It definitely feels better, it’s a little bit of an adjustment as far as training power, still, but I think I’m more powerful because I didn’t lose any muscle mass. You definitely feel a step quicker.
With this added training, he may develop into a strong starting tackle for the Chicago in the upcoming season.
