that diving catch in the endzone yesterday was elite, his catch radius is unbelievable
He’s as advertised.
I was in the “Idk about this but I trust Ben” camp when we drafted him. I will continue to trust Ben.
I love when the regular season ends because then we get all the stats like “7th person in NFL history to juke left and right on the same run twice in a row in the same game while the moon is a waxing crescent”.

There is a chance the Bears might have drafted a top 5 tight end and a true number 1 receiver in the same draft
Ben had LaPorta in Detroit and now Loveland in Chicago. Call me crazy but I think that Loveland will be a better player than LaPorta in the long run
I can’t stand this dude on twitter. I feel like he plants his flags on some of the worst takes. Loveland being bad is one of them.
He’s no Ditka, but he’ll do.
As a diehard Michigan fan I knew he was going to be special, but even having watched more of his tape than most fans, I did not expect him to take to end his rookie season as a top 10 TE.
I love Kmet but this kid somehow makes him look like a d2 walk on. We have a nasty fucking combo in those 2.
Brady called him “Mini Gronk” but I personally I prefer Slender Gronk.
Hands of glue.
Loveland Year 2 and Caleb year 3 is going to be SCARY for defenses!
A huge ‘Duh’ given what we heard about other GMs trying to trade up to get him. Couch clowns don’t know as much as people in these organizations.
Loveland is gonna be a problem for defenses for many years to come.
Colston “The Claw” Loveland
Knew he was a great pick. I still wanted Kenneth Grant or Mason Graham but I’m glad I was wrong and we got this stuf instead. Hes definitely in the game plan for FTP. Maybe 15 catches for 162 yards and 2 td’s?
weirdly specific stat but ok
He’s better than Warren. And I’ll admit 100% that I was one of the people furious that we took him over Warren. I’ve completely changed my stance. Loveland is phenomenal
A lot of Pepe said that he’d have to have a special year to justify his draft position. I think he met those expectations.
