Second-round Roush has Williams' endorsement and should exceed TE3 snap share with increased 12/13 usage.
The Bears spent a second-round draft pick on Stanford's Sam Roush, a TE3 with a reputation as an exceptional blocker and underestimated athleticism. Caleb Williams endorsed Roush on the New Heights podcast, calling him a 'freak of nature' who can run block, pass block, and catch. Roush, who will turn 23 in September, will likely get more offensive snaps than last year's TE3 Durham Smythe (293 snaps) if the Bears increase their 12 and 13 personnel usage in 2026. Roush also brings over 500 special teams snaps from Stanford.
