Chicago Bears, Drew Dalman

The Chicago Bears are home to the best offensive lineman in football. Sports Illustrated released its top-10 NFL offensive lineman rankings heading into the 2026 season. Two Bears cracked the list. 

Joe Thuney claimed the top spot, while Darnell Wright checked in at No. 10. Chicago is one of two teams with multiple players in the top 10. They join the Denver Broncos duo of Garett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz. 

Meanwhile, the Bears’ offensive line helped carry the franchise back to the playoffs for the first time in five years. 

Thuney earned first-team All-Pro honors for the third straight year and took home the inaugural Protector of the Year award. Wright earned second-team All-Pro honors in just his third NFL season.

Thuney sits alone at the top of the league. He made his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl in 2025.

The 33-year-old finished second in pass-block win rate and third in run-block win rate league-wide. With him leading the way, the Bears ranked third in rushing yards and fourth in EPA per rush. 

His résumé speaks for itself. Thuney won four Super Bowls blocking for Tom Brady in New England and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.

Wright is right behind him and still ascending. The 2023 first-round pick posted an 85.6 run-block grade, sixth among 89 qualifying tackles per PFF. The Bears averaged 144.5 rushing yards per game, third-most in the NFL. Wright also helped limit Caleb Williams to just 24 sacks, third-fewest among quarterbacks who started all 17 games.

Together, Thuney and Wright give Chicago one of the most formidable offensive lines in football. 

Williams enters Year 3 with two of the best blockers in the game protecting him. The Bears’ ceiling in 2026 runs directly through the trenches.
