The Chicago Bears continued their aggressive offseason strategy to bolster their offensive line by selecting Ozzy Trapilo, a 6'8", 316-pound offensive tackle from Boston College, with the 56th overall pick in the second round of the draft. The moment was made special as Bears General Manager Ryan Poles, also a Boston College alum, personally called Trapilo to welcome him to the team. Alongside Poles were Head Coach Ben Johnson and Offensive Line Coach Dan Roushar, all eager to integrate Trapilo into their plans for the upcoming season.

Trapilo’s addition follows the Bears’ offseason moves that included trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, and signing center Drew Dalman in free agency. This influx of talent is expected to create a competitive environment for the left tackle position, where Trapilo will vie for playing time against veterans like Braxton Jones and last year's third-round pick, Kiran Amegadjie.
