Former Tennessee Vols offensive lineman Darnell Wright put on a show in the Chicago Bears' 40-20 win against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.
Wright, the No. 10 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Bears, went viral for casually trucking a Washington defender while never breaking stride.

That wasn't Wright's only impressive play in the Bears' win, either.
Wright also showed off his athleticism by making an impressive block on the perimeter which helped create some space for wide receiver DJ Moore (who had a huge night for Chicago).

Looks like the Bears made the right decision by selecting Wright in the first round. The former Vol certainly made a big impact in the Bears' win against the Commanders.
