Chicago Bears 2026 NFL Draft Target: TJ Parker
Last season, the Chicago Bears defense led the NFL in turnover differential. This was helped by their secondary leading the league in interceptions while quarterback Caleb Williams took good care of the football on offense. However, the defense was far from perfect.
Notably, Chicago’s defense was among the worst in the NFL when it came to rushing the passer. Early in the off-season, it was pretty evident that they were going to look to the 2026 NFL Draft to add a pass rusher or two.
If they choose to address this particular need early, TJ Parker from Clemson may be a name to watch.
The Chicago Bears could select TJ Parker in the 2026 NFL Draft
Recently, Yahoo Sports released an article that listed five players the Bears could target with their first round pick (25th overall). Parker was the top name mentioned:
“Parker is yet another Clemson defender who has seemingly slid down the consensus board the further things have gone along. That said, when watching him, it’s easy to see a path to a successful NFL career that is more than being a good run defender and the occasional eight-to-10 sack season.
“Another potential name who could be there when the Bears pick is Akeem Mesidor, but the combination of his age and the lack of typical traits Allen prefers leads me to believe he won’t be a fit in this scheme.”
A three-year starter at Clemson, Parker has put up big numbers in each season that he has played. As a freshman in 2023, he had 32 total tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 12.5 tackles for loss. A year later, Parker had his best collegiate season, racking up 57 total tackles, 11.5 sacks, and 19.5 tackles for loss. He also forced six fumbles.
Last year, though, was Parker’s least productive season, though he still put up solid numbers. He had 37 total tackles, 5.0 sacks, and 9.5 tackles for loss.
