The 2026 NFL Draft is on the horizon, and the Chicago Bears are deep in their evaluation process. A key part of that is the "Top 30" visits, where teams bring in a select group of prospects for in-depth meetings and medical checks. While the Bears don't release an official list, several reports have pieced together the prospects who made their way to Halas Hall this offseason.
This list offers a fascinating glimpse into the Bears' potential draft strategy, highlighting areas they might be looking to bolster. The group includes a mix of talent across the trenches and skill positions, from offensive linemen like Miami's James Brockermeyer and Utah's Caleb Lomu to defensive standouts like Indiana's Mikail Kamara and Ohio State's Kayden McDonald.
Here’s a look at the confirmed visitors for the Bears:
James Brockermeyer, C, Miami
Jager Burton, C, Kentucky
Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Mikail Kamara, DE, Indiana
Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
Seth McGowan, RB, Kentucky
Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State
Brian Parker, OL, Duke
Karon Prunty, CB, Wake Forest
Jimmy Rolder, LB, Michigan (local pro day)
Keionte Scott, DB, Miami
De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
Anterio Thompson, DT, Washington
Zion Young, DE, Missouri
It's worth noting that while Syracuse tight end Dan Villari has been mentioned in some circles, those reports appear to be unconfirmed. The Top 30 visits are a significant step in the pre-draft process, giving teams a much closer look at a player's football IQ, character, and fit within their system than a Combine interview allows.
As the draft approaches, this list will be a key reference point. Which of these prospects would you be most excited to see wearing the navy and orange next season?
