Yannick Ngakoue says Bears an 'easy transition' and 'great fit' for 2023 (2023 Season)

Newly signed Chicago Bears pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue met with the media Friday and gave a simple yet perfect answer to why he chose the Bears: “It’s a great fit.”

It certainly is for Ngakoue, who joins a familiar system with familiar coaches.

“It’s an easy transition with my position coach and my defensive coordinator,” Ngakoue said.

Ngakoue immediately provides the Bears defense with the kind of pass-rusher needed to compete in the NFC North. Fresh off of a 9.5-sack season with the Colts, Ngakoue is widely regarded as one of the top sack artists in the league.

He’s totaled 65 sacks through seven seasons.

Ngakoue, who has a Bear tattoo on his hand, said he felt like it was destiny to be a Chicago Bear. Check out his complete press conference below:
