What's going on everybody?
Nicholas Moriano here from Bears Roundtable Sports.
We are looking into the recent news that Colston Loveland's gonna be attending Tight End University in Nashville, Tennessee.
He's gonna be among some of the best tight ends in the NFL, and this will actually be the first time that Loveland's able to attend the event.
Last year during his rookie season, prior to training camp and even during the organized team activities, Loveland was dealing with that AC joint injury in his shoulder, so wasn't able to do much in the off-season.
So this will give Loveland a great opportunity to not only learn from great tight ends like George Kittle, Travis Kelce, former Bears tight end Greg Olsen, but just to be around those guys on the field and also in the classroom, the X's and O's and learning that part of the game, which will obviously help the young tight end become even better as he enters year two.
Coming off of a rookie season where Colston Loveland was the Bears leading receiver, yards, receptions, tied for the most touchdowns with DJ Moore last season.
So Colston Loveland already put out a lot of great things in his first year with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, but going into his second season before his second training camp with the Chicago Bears, he's gonna be a part of Tight End U, which I think is a, a good asset, a good learning opportunity, and like I said, just being around some of these tight ends that have been in the league for decades or going on decades, it's, something that shouldn't be overlooked.
I've also heard that Sam Roush, the Bears third round draft pick, is also going to be in attendance for Tight End University, or he's confirmed to go at least, so we'll see how that shapes out.
But for Colston Loveland to be there, Sam Roush, it's an invaluable experience that will allow both these Bears tight ends to just, one, get acquainted with their fellow peers in the NFL, but you can never m- pass up, I think, on some of those opportunities, especially if you're healthy.
It's not something where it's gonna be ultra-competitive, where you're gonna put your body at risk.
If anything, you are just learning from others around you and taking those experiences and then applying it hopefully to this upcoming season.
But that's where Colston Loveland will be next week.
It's a three-day event with Tuesday being the on-field stuff that actually fans can attend for the first time, in this, this event that they've hosted since now 2021.
So Colston Loveland will be the newest member of the Chicago Bears organization, part of Tight End U, and I'm sure he'll get plenty of experience, and when he comes back to Halas Hall, I'm fairly certain there will be questions about his experience and what he learned from Tight End University.
