While Loveland wore number 18 for the Michigan Wolverines, the rookie tight end will be donning a new number with the Bears. Loveland will wear number 84, according to NFL Jersey Numbers. The last Bears player that was assigned 84 was Miles Boykin, who signed a one-year deal this offseason.

The Chicago Bears selected University of Michigan tight end Colston Loveland with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Loveland became just the third tight end selected by the Bears in the first round of an NFL Draft in the Common Draft Era.

Chicago chose Loveland over Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who went to Indianapolis at No. 14. He gives the Bears a potentially potent tight end tandem with Cole Kmet.
