Bears’ Bold Move Pays Off | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears stunned the NFL by drafting tight end Colston Loveland at 10 in the 2025 Draft—surprising even Loveland, who thought he was headed to the Chargers. But the gamble paid off: Loveland exploded in his rookie season, hauling in 58 catches, 713 yards, and 6 TDs, then shredded Green Bay for 137 yards in the playoffs. Playing with Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson unlocked his potential. Though he’d visited only the Chargers—where Harbaugh had hinted he’d be picked if still available—Loveland’s pro day dazzle sealed the Bears’ deal. A win-win: Chicago gets a breakout star, Chargers get a solid TE in Round 5. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
