2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears used a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Hyppolite, a physical linebacker from Maryland who recorded over 60 tackles in three of five collegiate seasons. He impressed with his athletic testing during his pro day and should contribute immediately on special teams. While he needs to improve his anchor strength against pro linemen, he enters his rookie campaign with enough upside to earn subpackage snaps. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.08 million contract with the Bears in May of 2025.
Headed to Chicago
The Bears selected Hyppolite in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite contributed significantly throughout his collegiate career at Maryland, topping 60 tackles in three of his five seasons. There are questions of whether he will be able to handle the physical element of the NFL, but he popped off the page with his athletic testing at his pro day. That was enough to elevate his draft stock, but Hyppolite is likely to be limited to special-teams duty to begin his career.

Most improved in spring practices
Bears head coach Ben Johnson singled out Hyppolite as the player that showed the most improvement in spring practices, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite got significant playing time with the starters in OTAs and minicamp due to the absence of T.J. Edwards, who has been sidelined by a soft-tissue injury. Hyppolite has intriguing physical tools with 4.39 speed, and the rookie fourth-round pick out of Maryland could earn himself a prominent role out of the gate if he continues to impress the coaching staff.
