Kyler Gordon, cornerback, Washington

No. 39, second round

Height, weight: 5-11, 194

Why the Bears picked him

The Bears had a major need for a starter at cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson, and now they have an option.

Gordon had two interceptions and nine passes defended in 12 games in 2021, being named a first-team All-Pac 12 player. He finished his career with 14 passes defended, 98 tackles, three tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles. Gordon’s teammate, cornerback Trent McDuffie, was picked 21st in the first round by the Kansas City Chiefs.
