Draft Scouting Report

Summary
Jordan van den Berg is a South African native with more than 1,300 snaps at Penn State and Georgia Tech over the past five seasons. He’s a consistent, high-motor defender who understands offensive line schemes and plays with a lunch-pail mentality. Van den Berg uses excellent leverage and technique to overpower opponents at times. He likely projects as a rotational player at the next level who can excel against the run, and with continued development as a pass rusher, he could carve out a long career.

Bears' Jordan van den Berg: Heads to Chicago
The Bears selected van den Berg in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 213th overall.
The Bears sent the Bills two seventh-round picks to move up and take van den Berg. A six-year collegiate athlete, van den Berg spent his final two seasons at Georgia Tech, starting 20 of 26 games and producing 67 tackles, 16.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks. He was a late bloomer but managed to earn All-ACC honors in his final season before running a 4.94 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 310 pounds at his pro day. There's room for him to grow with that level of athleticism, and the 2025 tape showed a player with the requisite skills to potentially earn a role in the NFL.
