NFL Draft

UO release - PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman was taken No. 25 overall by the Chicago Bears on Thursday night in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Thieneman becomes the second Duck taken in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, after tight end Kenyon Sadiq was selected No. 16 overall by the New York Jets. It is the first time in program history that Oregon has had multiple first-round picks in back-to-back years, after Derrick Harmon and Josh Conerly Jr. both went in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Oregon's streak of consecutive years with a first-round pick extended to seven, with Sadiq and Thieneman giving Oregon nine total first-round selections during that span. The duo follows Harmon (No. 21, 2025), Conerly (No. 29, 2025), Bo Nix (No, 12, 2024), Christian Gonzalez (No. 17, 2023), Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 5, 2022), Penei Sewell (No. 7, 2021) and Justin Herbert (No. 6, 2020). Thieneman becomes the 26th first-round pick in program history, and he is Oregon's 14th first-round selection since 2013 and 17th since 2000. Thieneman is the first Duck to be selected by the Bears in the first round since Kyle Long in 2013. Thieneman solidified his standing as one of the nation's top defensive backs in his lone season at Oregon, earning second-team all-America honors from the Sporting News, the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. He was also a first-team all-Big Ten selection. A native of Westfield, Ind., Thieneman ranked second among Ducks with 96 total tackles while adding 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, two interceptions and five pass breakups. He had multiple tackles in all 15 games with three double-digit tackle performances, all coming in three of the final four games. Thieneman provided one of the Ducks' signature moments on their way to reaching the College Football Playoff Semifinal, clinching a thrilling win at No. 3 Penn State with an interception in double overtime. Thieneman also excelled in the classroom in his time at Oregon, becoming the 16th academic all-America first-team selection in program history and first since 2023. He became the first Oregon defensive back ever to earn the honor. A two-year standout at Purdue before transferring to Oregon, Thieneman racked up 306 career tackles, eight interceptions, 10.0 tackles for loss and 14 pass breakups across 39 collegiate games. Oregon 2026 NFL Draft Picks: TE Kenyon Sadiq - Round 1, Pick 16 (New York Jets); S Dillon Thieneman - Round 1, Pick 25 (Chicago Bears).
