Just last year, Chicago Bears linebacker Noah Sewell was one of the team’s more exciting prospects. Now, some insiders closest to the team believe he’s a strong candidate to be cut.
The younger brother of Detroit Lions All-Pro offensive tackle Penei, the Bears selected Sewell in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft and were widely praised for it at the time. “Sewell’s natural size-speed combination might be worth the dart throw,” Pro Football Network’s Ian Cummings wrote about the pick in April of 2023, giving it an A- grade. “He has plenty of room to refine his game beyond the measurements, but the upside is real here,” Cummings added.
Flash forward to a year and a half later. After an underwhelming rookie season, Sewell is falling further back on the depth chart. With Tremaine Edmunds, T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn the established top 3 at the LB position, Bears insiders Adam Jahns and Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic believe reserves Amen Ogbongbemiga and Micah Baskerville currently have the edge over Sewell.
