Bears cornerback out of Miami who posted career-best grades in 2025 even as he lost snaps down the stretch.
Tyrique Stevenson entered 2025 facing a make-or-break season after an uneven start to his career. He played 13 games, set career highs in some metrics, and graded strongly against the run, but inconsistent coverage cost him snaps late in the year. With his rookie deal winding down, Stevenson heads into 2026 at a crossroads in Chicago.
Path to the league
Stevenson played college football at Miami after starting his career at Georgia. The Bears drafted him in the second round, 56th overall, in 2023 and plugged him in as an outside cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson.
2025 season
Stevenson appeared in 13 regular-season games while dealing with shoulder and hip injuries, recording 49 total tackles, 10 passes defensed with one interception, and two forced fumbles. PFF charted a career-high overall grade and an elite run-defense grade, but he allowed chunk plays in coverage and ceded starting reps down the stretch.
