But he took a while to get up to speed this offseason because he was recovering from an injury, and for that reason, some might have wondered if it\u2019d take some time for him to work his way into the offense,\u201d Graziano wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it will. Loveland is the guy whose name comes up every time I ask somebody about Bears camp. He\u2019s quarterback-friendly. He\u2019s big and fast. He\u2019s polished in his route running. He was healthy to start training camp, so he advanced quickly once August got going. And his connection with quarterback Caleb Williams is said to already be outstanding. The Bears have a lot of very good pass catchers, with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet, and Luther Burden III. But as Williams continues his development under new coach Ben Johnson, he could lean on Loveland a lot \u2014 especially early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Across three seasons at Michigan, Loveland totaled 117 receptions, 11 touchdowns, and 1,466 receiving yards. While he played alongside Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy in college, it could be argued that Williams will be the most talented signal caller that Loveland has competed with.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/exclusive-matt-leinart-reveals-keys-202830303.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Williams will enter his second season with lofty expectations,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Williams will enter his second season with lofty expectations,<\/a> and Loveland\u2019s presence could provide a needed safety valve.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/bears-most-surprising-53-man-174042096.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bears\u2019 most surprising 53-man roster cut before 2025 NFL season;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bears\u2019 most surprising 53-man roster cut before 2025 NFL season<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nfl\/chicago-bears\/bears-news-ben-johnson-response-insider-wondering\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ben Johnson\u2019s ambiguous response to Bears LT question causes insiders to speculate;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ben Johnson\u2019s ambiguous response to Bears LT question causes insiders to speculate<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The post Bears\u2019 Colston Loveland hype taking off before rookie season appeared first on ClutchPoints.
