Bears Draft Stanford's Roush for Run Blocking

0:00On April 25, Chicago Bears just snag stand for Titan Sam Roosh with a 69th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That's a third round move that caught everyone off guard, especially with their stacked tight-end room already featuring Colston Loveland and Cole. K-Met. They leaned hard on a third string guy last year for run-blocking, so Roush fits right in as a rookie specialist, even if his snaps don't always show. Up in the box score. Roush stands six feet six inches tall, weighs 267 pounds, and crushed his athletic testing with a 9.94 Rascore. In 2025, he hauled in 49 catches for 545 yards and two touchdowns, ranking 5th among FBS Titans in, receptions and impact. He's the top run-blocking Titan in this class, earning second-team all ACC honors, and eight Titans win the top 100 picks. Big wide, like the Jaguars, taking Nate Bohr-Curture and the Texans, grabbing Marlin Klein.
