It doesn’t matter whether the Chicago Bears have the No. 1 overall pick or the No. 32 overall pick in an NFL draft. Their fans will always show out for their draft pick, as evidenced by recent jersey sales. One week after the 2026 NFL Draft concluded, Fanatics is listing the top-selling jerseys from the class up to this point, and Bears rookie safety Dillon Thieneman made the cut.
According to Fanatics via NFL on FOX, Thieneman is the ninth-best-selling rookie jersey among the entire class. The top five players include Dallas Cowboys safety Caleb Downs, Miami Dolphins linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, Cowboys EDGE Malichi Lawrence, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Drew Allar, and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
This is the third year in a row a Bears rookie has had a top-selling jersey after the draft. Last season, tight end Colston Loveland had the 10th-highest jersey sales among rookies, and in 2024, Caleb Williams held the top spot—even breaking the single-day record on draft night.
Thieneman was the No. 25 overall pick by the Bears coming out of Oregon, becoming the first safety drafted in the first round by the Bears since Mark Carrier in 1990.
