"HOW JOE THUNEY SET A NEW STANDARD AT HALAS HALL Protector of the Year award finalist Joe Thuney might have been the Bears' most valuable player during the 2025-26 season. To be clear, this isn't me saying that he was the team's best or most talented player. And because offensive linemen don't put up stats that appear in box scores, it makes it tough to quantify his production. But Thuney's value to this Bears team was undeniable."
Joe Thuney is a finalist for the NFL's inaugural Protector of the Year award, one of six nominees reported by league sources. The nominees include Garett Bolles, Aaron Brewer, Creed Humphrey, Quinn Meinerz, Joe Thuney, and Penei Sewell. Thuney earned his fourth Pro Bowl selection and his third consecutive first-team All-Pro honor. Pro Football Focus gave him a 77.9 overall grade (sixth among qualifying guards) and an 87.8 pass-blocking grade (best among guards).
