Loveland was a second-team All-Big Ten selection and a finalist for the John Mackey Award in his last season at Michigan.

Loveland is an elite athlete, great route runner and can develop into a playmaker for quarterback Caleb Williams, especially with Johnson leading the charge on offense. Now, Chicago has found a solid complement to Cole Kmet and opening the door fort Johnson to have some fun with two tight ends on the field.

The Chicago Bears selected University of Michigan tight end Colston Loveland with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Loveland became just the third tight end selected by the Bears in the first round of an NFL Draft in the Common Draft Era.
