Season so far
Dillon Thieneman has played just one game in the 2026 season, earning a replacement-level grade of 65.9 across 58 snaps against Minnesota. Given that it is still very early in the year, his performance represents a limited single-game sample rather than an established trend. His grade was bolstered by effective deep zone awareness, highlighted by an early third-down pass breakup in the end zone. He also flashed active downhill run defense by shedding a fullback block to assist on a tackle for loss. However, his day was tempered in the third quarter when an unblocked missed tackle on an outside toss resulted in a 20-yard gain.
