Naturally, a popular talking point was the possibility of Chicago trading for Bridgewater, which had fans divided. Some believe Bridgewater would be an instant upgrade over Dalton or Nick Foles.

The 6-foot-5, 331-pounder also opted out of the 2020 season, but after winning the Outland Trophy as the nation’s best offensive or defensive lineman at just 19 years old the year before, Sewell’s tape speaks for itself.
