Colston Loveland reveals what Caleb Williams did after he got drafted by Bears

When the Chicago Bears selected Colston Loveland 10th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, it was a clear indication that the organization saw immense talent in the Michigan product. The Bears scooped him up after Loveland helped lead the Wolverines to a national championship in 2023.

Caleb Williams was all in on Loveland as well. In fact, Chicago’s cornerstone quarterback wasted no time getting in touch with his new teammates as soon as the Bears drafted Loveland. According to the tight end himself, Williams immediately gave him a call shortly after he was drafted.

Loveland recalled his conversation with Williams on a recent appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast. According to Loveland, he spoke to Williams not long after his conversation with Bears general manager Ryan Poles.

“Probably 10 minutes after that,” Loveland said. “Ten minutes after. … But he called, it was like, ‘OK, yeah.’ He was hype. He was like, ‘We’re going to tear this [expletive] up.’”

Loveland noted that he also received a message from new teammate Cole Kmet, who he would later share the Bears TE room with.

Loveland repaid everyone’s trust with a big rookie year for Chicago. After a relatively slow start, the young tight end did not stop as soon as he got it going.

Loveland finished his rookie campaign with 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns. More is expected of him in 2026 as the Bears aim to reach new heights.
