Chicago Bears’ Joe Thuney should run away with Protector of The Year Award, former QB says
Joe Thuney became a stabilizing force and the cornerstone of the Chicago Bears‘ offensive line rebuild in 2025.
Thuney, acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in a trade last offseason, was a critical piece of quarterback Caleb Williams’ sack total dropping to 24, from the 68 he had to withstand as a rookie, as well as when it came to opening up running lanes for backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.
It’s no surprise, then, that Thuney is a finalist for the NFL’s first-ever Protector of the Year Award, set to be handed out to the top offensive lineman in the league during this year’s NFL Honors ceremony Thursday night.
Chicago Bears’ Joe Thuney gets big endorsement
Over at NFL Media, analyst and former quarterback David Carr believes that Thuney should be considered the runaway favorite for the award.
“First and foremost,” Carr writes, making his pick for Protector of the Year. “I’m a big fan of this award because there’s finally a light on the guys who do the dirty work for the star quarterbacks of the league. These players don’t get the fantasy shine or national attention; rather, they simply produce when they’re on the field. So, while there are multiple great options for this honor, I’m leaning toward Thuney, who didn’t give up a sack all season and garnered PFF’s top pass-blocking grade at the guard position. His versatility even allowed the Bears to swing him out to left tackle as an injury replacement in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.”
Thuney was downright stellar this season, and saved some of his most dominant performances for the Bears’ pair of postseason games.
According to Pro Football Focus, Thuney didn’t allow a single sack all season, only allowed one quarterback hit and 15 pressures, in 686 pass-blocking snaps.
From his own dominance to how instrumental he was to the Bears’ turnaround overall along the offensive line, Thuney deserves major recognition, and just might get it in the days ahead.
