The Bears traded down from No. 1 to 9 to 10 before drafting Wright last week.

Bears rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright would like these to be ordinary practices, but that’s simply impossible.

No matter how good he was in college or how hyperattentive Tennessee fans are, Wright has never been in the spotlight like this. The Bears have 61 other players in for rookie minicamp this week, but none as important as him.

At one point during individual drills Friday, general manager Ryan Poles, assistant general manager Ian Cunningham and coach Matt Eberflus all were camped out in the offensive line’s area of the field at Halas Hall to get a look at their prized newcomer.
