The Chicago Bears found a new weapon for coach Ben Johnson’s offense.
The Bears selected Michigan tight end Colston Loveland with the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night.
Loveland, at 6-foot-6 and 248 pounds, is an elite pass-catching tight end and the type of chess piece who can move all across the formation and still be dangerous. He totaled 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns last season and was a key target for the Wolverines offense during the 2023 run to the national championship.
The Bears selected Loveland ahead of Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, whom many considered the top tight end in this year’s draft.
Loveland will pair with Cole Kmet to give the Bears offense a one-two punch at tight end. Johnson, the former Lions offensive coordinator, loved using two-tight-end sets in Detroit. Adding Loveland to the mix gives him the flexibility to do that in Chicago.
