summary
summary
Colston Loveland is a dynamic and versatile tight end prospect, known for his exceptional receiving skills and athleticism. At 6'6" and 248 pounds, he presents a significant mismatch for defenders, combining size with agility. His background as a former wide receiver contributes to his refined route-running and ability to create separation
His 2024 season was particularly noteworthy, as he set the single-season record for receptions by a tight end in Michigan history. Despite missing the final regular-season game due to a shoulder injury, he earned second-team All-American honors and was a finalist for the John Mackey Award.
In the 2025 NFL Draft, Loveland was selected 10th overall by the Chicago Bears, making him the first tight end taken and the third overall receiver. His addition provides quarterback Caleb Williams with a reliable and athletic target, expected to play a significant role in the Bears' offense.
