From the article

As a receiver, the 6'6″, 241-pounder is too big for most defensive backs to match up with, and he's too good a route runner for most linebackers to cover. Running 13 personnel with Loveland will allow the Bears to be right, no matter how the defense counters.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Size-athleticism mismatch and proven blocking unlock target volume in 13 personnel.

At 6'6", 241 lbs, Loveland is too big for most defensive backs to match and too good a route runner for most linebackers to cover; blocking was underrated coming out of Michigan and proved effective in Ben Johnson's offense, enabling increased target volume as season progressed; 13 personnel deployment with Cole Kmet and Sam Roush allows Bears to attack mismatches regardless of defensive alignment.
