Kyler Gordon
Kyler Gordon (born December 17, 1999) is an American professional football cornerback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Washington Huskies and was selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Gordon became a ballet dancer at a young age, and has used it to his advantage. Gordon's rare balance and jumping, as showcased at the NFL Combine, helped him become an early second round draft pick many years later. Ballet is more of a hobby for him now as he moves to professional football, but he still credits ballet for a lot of his football success.
Gordon attended Archbishop Murphy High School in Everett, Washington. He played cornerback and wide receiver in high school. He committed to the University of Washington to play college football.
Gordon played in four games his first year at Washington in 2018 and was redshirted. In 2019, he started four of 13 games, recording 32 tackles. In 2020, he started one of four games and had 18 tackles. Gordon became a full-time starter in 2021. On January 5, 2022, Gordon declared for the 2022 NFL draft.
NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN and Dane Brugler of the Athletic had Gordon ranked as the fourth best cornerback prospect available in the draft. NFL.com media analyst Daniel Jeremiah listed Gordon as the fifth best cornerback amongst his position in the draft. Thor Nystrom of NBC Sports ranked him sixth amongst all cornerbacks in the draft. Kevin Hanson of Sports Illustrated ranked Gordon as the seventh best cornerback prospect in the draft. Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus listed him as the eighth best cornerback prospect (58th overall) on his big board. Pro Football Focus ranked him ninth among all cornerbacks available in the draft. NFL draft analysts and scouts projected him to be a first or second round pick.
The Chicago Bears selected Gordon in the second round (39th overall) of the 2022 NFL draft. He was the sixth cornerback drafted in 2022.
On June 25, 2022, the Chicago Bears signed Gordon to a four–year, $8.68 million rookie contract that includes $5.79 million guaranteed upon signing and an initial signing bonus of $3.49 million.
He entered training camp projected to be the No. 2 starting cornerback, but suffered a minor injury that forced him to miss numerous practices. He competed for a starting position against Kindle Vildor under defensive coordinator Alan Williams. Head coach Matt Eberflus named him the No. 2 starting cornerback and starting nickelback to begin the season and paired him with No. 1 starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson.
