From the episode

Colson Loveland is going to be my guy...Colson Loveland is basically their slot receiver...there were games last season where Colson Loveland out snap Cole commit. This is going to be the pass catcher that you want to get from the Chicago bears.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Loveland is the Bears' slot receiver and premium TE breakout candidate.

Colson Loveland is the source's favorite premium tight end for 2026; he is positioned as the Chicago Bears' slot receiver, running about 50% of his routes from the slot at Michigan. Ben Johnson started using him in this role at the end of last year, and there were games where Loveland out-snapped Cole Kmet. With the Bears drafting Sam Rauch and running three tight ends in 13 personnel, Loveland is positioned as the pass-catcher to target from Chicago.
