Bears quarterbacks coach J.T.

ESPN analyst Matt Miller predicts Chicago's 2026 rookie class could be the core to a Super Bowl run in five years, with picks like Dillon Thieneman, Logan Jones, Sam Roush, Malik Muhammad and Zavion Thomas adding speed, protection for Caleb Williams, and a stronger defense and offensive line under coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles.
