What's going on everybody?
Nicholas Moriano here from Bears Roundtable Sports.
For today's video, we look into a recent top 100 players list of 2026 and highlight the Bears players that made it.
So according to Pete Prisco from CBS Sports, his top 100 players going into the 2026 season, well, three Bears have made the list.
Number 100, Colston Loveland, Caleb Williams at number 70, and Joe Tunney, number 55.
And when you think about the play- these three players in particular, obviously you have a rookie in Colston Loveland, a second year player going into year three with Caleb Williams.
And then, you know, what is going to be a future Hall of Famer in Joe Tunney, his first season though, with the Chicago Bears.
And of these three, Tunney was the only one who actually had made this list before at number 55, ironically.
So he's just somebody that steady regardless of where he's played.
But Caleb Williams made a significant jump after not being represented on this list last year, but now coming in at number 70 and Colston Loveland, his rookie season being the, the 100th best player.
Now, if all goes according to plan, these three players all being offensive players in Ben Johnson's system, another year in it after the 2026 season, there should be no doubt that all three of these guys and potentially more could be represented on this list going forward.
And the NFL is also releasing its top 100 players of the 2026 season.
And at number 91, Bears defensive end Montez Sweat was voted by the players in that list as the 91st best player.
Now, in that list, it could be interesting to see how many Bears players make it.
Let's say all three players that were even represented here, Tunney, Loveland, and Williams are represented.
And what about Kevin Byard?
He led the league in interceptions last season.
So it'll be fascinating to see how many Bears actually make that players voted list as they keep unveiling each player day by day here over the next couple weeks until they get closer and closer to the regular season.
But the Bears have three in this list by CBS Sports, and it makes sense that the Bears had the season that they did, winning as many games they did, winning the NFC North, beating the Green Bay Packers in divisional round.
You need players, talented players to do that.
And the Bears, their roster is showing that they do have those types of players.
So regardless of what the coaching looks like, regardless of what ends up happening in 2026, the Bears have a competitive roster, which should make the team competitive this upcoming season.
