The Chicago Bears selected Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg with the 213th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Van den Berg posted a near-perfect 10.00 RAS score, ranking second among defensive tackles measured from 1987 through 2026, and evaluator Daniel Jeremiah listed him among his top 150 prospects and as a late-round sleeper. Off the field Van den Berg used NIL earnings to buy a laundromat while at Georgia Tech. The pick provides the Bears a high-upside, athletic interior lineman who projects as a rotational run defender and special-teams contributor from a late-round selection.
