Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze had plenty of praise for his rookie teammate, tight end Colston Loveland.

Saying that two tight end sets are a Ben Johnson staple would be a slight misrepresentation, but expecting that the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator won’t dabble with sets that feature both Kmet and Loveland would be an equally big mistake.

Chicago Bears veteran tight end Cole Kmet believes the arrival of rookie Colston Loveland will create healthy competition.

The Bears drafted Colston Loveland to be a high-end tight end, and second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze has seen the type of skills the rookie brings to the field.

The Bears didn’t draft Colston Loveland to replace Cole Kmet — they drafted him to pair with him. Ben Johnson’s two-tight end vision could give Chicago a serious offensive edge.

In a column written by Bears' senior writer Larry Mayer, Colston Loveland's high school coach, Cam Andersen, recalled his favorite “growth moment” about the 21-year-old tight end. Andersen claims that after Loveland dropped a crucial catch in his sophomore year, he never saw the young tight ever drop a pass again.

Maryland coach Mike Locksley predicts former Terrapins linebacker Ruben Hyppolite, the Bears’ fourth-round pick, will be an “unbelievable” pro who adds exceptional value on special teams and becomes a locker-room linchpin.
