Joe Thuney just made the NFL’s Top 100 list at 49 — his first time ever cracking the player-voted countdown — despite already owning four Super Bowl rings, four Pro Bowl nods, and the historic first-ever NFL Protector of the Year award. Praise poured in from peers like Micah Parsons, who called him “Mr. Consistent” and a “mastermind at the line.” Thuney’s dominance, including three first-team All-Pro honors and four Pro Bowl appearances, has finally earned him the spotlight he’s long deserved. He’s not alone on the Bears’ roster — Caleb Williams (51), Montez Sweat (91), and Kevin Byard (61) also made the cut, signaling Chicago’s rising national profile. Is 49 too low for a legend like Thuney? Maybe — but his impact on the field speaks for itself.
