Mike Tomlin, now with NBC, predicts that Aaron Rodgers will return to Steelers: 'He's got a love affair with the game'
Mike Tomlin predicts Aaron Rodgers will return to the Steelers in 2026.
The Chicago Bears selected defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg from Georgia Tech in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. With limited talent on the current defensive line, he has the opportunity to prove himself during camp and preseason.
Highlights of new Bears DT Jordan van den Berg
The Chicago Bears came into the 2026 NFL Draft with a handful of needs. One of them was help on the defensive line, whether it be on the edge or on the interior. Shockingly, the Bears went into Day 3 without addressing that issue at all. They didn't worry about that spot until their final pick of the event, which may or may not turn out to be a productive player.
During the sixth round, the Bears traded up to the sixth round to select Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg. At this stage of the draft, you're not even guaranteed to get a backup-level player, let alone a quality difference maker, but he put enough on tape for the Bears to take that chance on him.
There isn't an overflow of talent on Chicago's current defensive line, so he will get his chances during camp and the preseason, but there is a lot of work to be done for him to reach the role of a starting defensive tackle in the NFL.
