Share your love
Colston Loveland turned heads with his solid play in his rookie season. The Chicago Bears selected him at No. 10 overall in 2025 and proved that he deserves his selection. His collegiate success, including a national championship win in 2023, boosted his stock.
The Michigan product earned second-team All-American and second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2024. He also holds the school’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 56 in the same year.
Loveland played 16 regular-season games last season, including 11 starts. He amassed 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns, establishing himself as a cornerstone of the franchise for years to come. The former Wolverines star is set for a bigger role next season and will likely continue to be one of Caleb Williams’ favorite targets. He is expected to start more games and play more snaps than Cole Kmet.
Chicago Bears: Colston Loveland part of PFF’s top 10 TE’s for next season
Pro Football Focus recognized Loveland as one of the top 10 tight ends entering next season, ranking him at fifth. Only the San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle, Arizona Cardinals’ Trey McBride, Las Vegas Raiders’ Brock Bowers and the Detroit Lions’ Sam Laporta are ahead of him.
Rounding out the list are the Buffalo Bills’ Dalton Kincaid, Green Bay Packers’ Tucker Kraft, Atlanta Falcons’ Kyle Pitts, Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and the Indianapolis Colts’ Tyler Warren.
Loveland’s inclusion says a lot about how much he impressed last season. He is one of only two incoming second-year players on the list, along with Warren. If the Bears star can surpass his numbers from last year, it won’t come as a surprise if he’ll be one of the top three TEs in 2027.
Chicago is set to play seven primetime games next season, giving fans across the country more chances of seeing Loveland and Co. in action.
