Player Profile Snapshot

Dillon Thieneman enters the 2026 NFL Draft evaluation cycle as a premier high-IQ tactician in the secondary, armed with the read-and-react traits to impact multiple phases of a defensive scheme. His 2025 campaign at Oregon translated elite mental processing directly into relentless production and surgical efficiency. Operating as the deep-third quarterback, he racked up 96 tackles, two interceptions, and five pass breakups. Those baseline statistics are strictly validated by his advanced metrics, securing a dominant 90.5 coverage evaluation and allowing a suffocating 66.2 passer rating when targeted.
