  "account": "Chicago Bears fans are showing a strong interest in rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg, with their cameras and enthusiasm. During the preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, van den Berg played 28 snaps and contributed with 1 tackle, 1 QB hit, and 3 QB pressures according to PFF. His performance against the Cleveland Browns showcased his love for the violence of football. With Ozzy Trapilo activated off the PUP list, van den Berg's spot at left tackle remains uncertain as Braxton Jones is currently the favored candidate. Theo Benedet and Jedrick Wills Jr. have both faced challenges in the position, with Benedet's pass blocking and Wills Jr.'s overall performance being criticized. Meanwhile, safety Dillon Thieneman started against the Browns with 15 total snaps and has the odds to win Rookie of the Year at +3500, though he is currently ranked 10th.",
