At the beginning of the regular season, it appeared as though the Chicago Bears might have whiffed on their first-round pick in tight end Colston Loveland. That is no longer the case.
Loveland had yet another stellar game despite his team taking a 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18. The rookie tight end caught 10 passes for 91 yards and one touchdown in the defeat.
It was during the FOX broadcast of the game that got everyone's attention as former NFL quarterback Tom Brady sang the praises of Loveland. Brady would compare Loveland to another great tight end he played with in New England, the Patriots.
