Joe Thuney won the NFL’s first Protector of the Year award for his pivotal role in the Bears' turnaround.
Joe Thuney, the Chicago Bears’ left guard, won the NFL’s inaugural Protector of the Year award, recognizing him as the league’s top offensive lineman.
The 33-year-old, acquired from the Chiefs, played a key role in the Bears’ turnaround, helping reduce quarterback Caleb Williams’ sacks from 68 to 24 and improving the offense to third in rushing and a franchise-high in passing yards.
Thuney earned first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, allowing zero sacks and just 15 pressures in 686 pass-blocking snaps.
His leadership and consistency were instrumental in the team’s 11-6 record, NFC North title, and first playoff win in 15 years.
The award was decided by a panel of former linemen, including Jason Kelce and Andrew Whitworth.
