Bears TE Colston Loveland has two words for Caleb Williams

Colston Loveland and Caleb Williams showed last season that they have built a strong bond. The then-rookie tight end emerged as one of the quarterback’s favorite targets as the Chicago Bears’ 2025 campaign progressed.

They played key roles in helping lead the team to the NFC North title and reaching the Divisional Round. Williams finished the regular season with 330-of-568 completions for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions. His strong play turned a lot of heads and received praise for his composure during high-pressure moments.

Loveland, on the other hand, amassed 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns. He is set to be the Bears’ TE1 and will be relied upon heavily as they navigate the league’s toughest schedule. The team has showed a lot of promise at training camp and will look to build on its progress.
