Betting everything on two rookies: safety Dillon Thieneman, poised to start immediately and possibly play cornerback, and cornerback Malik Muhammad, stepping into a starting role vacated by Nahshon Wright’s departure. With the team’s pass defense ranked dead last last year, these two are the cornerstone of their Super Bowl push. While other picks fill depth roles, the Bears’ fate hinges on Thieneman and Muhammad delivering—unproven, untested, but absolutely vital.
