Summary

Hoge & Jahns are LIVE with their full breakdown of the Chicago Bears’ 2026 draft class after rookie minicamp. From first impressions to early takeaways, the guys share what stood out most as the newest Bears hit the field for the first time. We take a closer look at first-round safety Dillon Thieneman, his early chemistry in the secondary, and how he stacks up against previous Bears defensive first-round picks. Plus, reactions and observations on Logan Jones, Sam Roush, Zavion Thomas, Malik Muhammad, and the rest of Chicago’s rookie class as they begin settling into Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen’s system. What did rookie minicamp reveal about this class, and which players are already turning heads? Hoge & Jahns break it all down on another LIVE edition of the show.
