Summary

Dillon Thieneman burst onto the scene as a freshman at Purdue. The high-end athlete with tremendous production filled a major need for the Ducks and is likely to step into a starting role in the NFL. He shows the range and versatility to fill multiple roles but must refine his tackling form to maximize his potential. Thieneman is an instinctive player who can create turnovers at the next level.

About

2023-25: 306 tackles (third-most in FBS; most among DB)
2023: 6 INT (tied for third-most in FBS in first season at Purdue)

Strengths

Quick trigger to play downhill in run support.
Versatility to play multiple positions in the secondary.
High-IQ player who often finds himself in the right place at the right time.

Weaknesses

Often tackles low or to the side instead of using proper form (12.7% missed tackle rate in 2025, per TruMedia).
Paths to the football can occasionally be indirect.
Change of direction and recovery speed can take an extra beat.
