"Once he gets up and going, Shemar is a guy that I'm really excited to see have a breakout season. I had a ton of faith he was going to be on the same track as [fellow rookies] Luther [Burden], as Colston [Loveland], as Ozzy [Trapilo]; the more that he played, his impact was going to be felt more and more and I felt like we didn't get to see that."
"I wasn't expecting him to contribute a ton early as a rookie, especially with Grady Jarrett and Andrew Billings ahead of him on the depth chart. But I was hoping he would come along as the season went on and position himself to be a core contributor in Year 2."
Ryan Poles expressed excitement about Shemar Turner's potential for a breakout season in 2026. Despite a challenging 2025 season due to injuries, Turner is seen as a valuable contributor to the Bears' defense. He played only five games in 2025, recording six solo tackles and two tackles-for-loss. Poles believes that as Turner gains experience, his impact will grow, aligning him with other promising rookies from the 2025 NFL Draft class. The Bears are looking forward to his recovery and contributions in the upcoming season.
