“Thuney was the ideal recipient of the inaugural NFL Protector of the Year award, considering he has been the best pass-blocking guard of his generation.
He led all guards with an 87.7 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2025, allowing just 22 pressures across 19 games.
Thuney did not surrender a sack on 788 pass-blocking snaps last season, and his 68.6 PFF run-blocking grade ranked among the top 25 qualified guards.”
Chicago rebuilt its offensive line before the 2025 season by bringing in veterans Thuney, Drew Dalman and Jonah Jackson.
Bears already got more than their money’s worthWhen the Chicago Bears traded only a fourth round pick for Joe Thuney, there were understandable questions about acquiring a 33 year old offensive lineman entering the later stages of his career.
