The Player: Joe Thuney was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He has started 21 playoff games and been on four Super Bowl-winning teams, missing only two games in a ten-year career. He was acquired by the Bears in trade for a 2026 fourth-round pick.

The Case For Him: He’s Joe Thuney? He leads the NFC in Pass Block Win Rate for interior offensive linemen and is second only to former teammate Creed Humphrey in the entire league. He’s also 6th in Run Block Win Rate. He’s part of an offensive line that is essentially top 3 in all major rushing categories (rushing yards per game, rush yards per attempt, EPA per rush attempt, and so on).
