Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles explains how he sees rookie Dillon Thieneman working alongside free agent signing Coby Bryant.

Kiera Thieneman, the sister of Bears draft pick Dillon Thieneman, stole the show at the NFL Draft with her facial expressions.

In recent weeks, the scuttlebutt when it came to the Carolina Panthers and their first-round pick came down to a pair of Oregon Ducks. Would general manager Dan Morgan opt for tight end Kenyon Sadiq or safety Dillon Thieneman with the 19th overall pick?

As Oregon’s star safety, the Bears’ first-round draft pick intercepted Drew Allar in double overtime to clinch a 30-24 win on Sept. 27 at Penn State. The crowd, which arrived at the prime time game wearing all white, was stunned.

Thieneman was a near-unanimous pick by the Vikings at No. 18 in mock drafts throughout the draft process. So, why did Minnesota pass on him.
