the Bears spent a second-round draft pick on Stanford's Sam Roush... Roush brings the reputation of being an exceptional blocker... Caleb said. 'I got a third one now... He's built like the other guys also, tall, smooth, he's a freak of nature. Run block, pass block, catch, all of that.'... Roush, who will turn 23 in September, will likely get more offensive snaps than last year's number three tight end, Durham Smythe, who played about a quarter of the time (293 snaps).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Second-round Roush has Williams' endorsement and should exceed TE3 snap share with increased 12/13 usage.

The Bears spent a second-round draft pick on Stanford's Sam Roush, a TE3 with a reputation as an exceptional blocker and underestimated athleticism. Caleb Williams endorsed Roush on the New Heights podcast, calling him a 'freak of nature' who can run block, pass block, and catch. Roush, who will turn 23 in September, will likely get more offensive snaps than last year's TE3 Durham Smythe (293 snaps) if the Bears increase their 12 and 13 personnel usage in 2026. Roush also brings over 500 special teams snaps from Stanford.
