Caleb Williams Hypes Bears' TE Room After Travis Kelce Praise

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is excited about his weapons heading into the 2026 NFL season, particularly at the tight end position.

During a recent appearance with Travis and Jason Kelce on the “New Heights” podcast, Williams gushed about his TE room after receiving a strong endorsement from Travis.

“One of my favorite [tight end rooms] in the NFL. You’ve got two absolute dogs,” the Kansas City Chiefs TE said, referring to veteran Cole Kmet and rising star Colston Loveland.

“I’ve got a third one now. Ya’ll haven’t seen him,” Williams said, referencing the Bears’ third-round draft pick Sam Roush, a tight end out of Stanford.

“We’re juiced. I’m juiced,” Williams continued. “It’s always an advantage when you have one tight end, but when you have three that can do it all - that’s a big advantage. I’m excited. Over here on the Bears’ side of town, we’re really excited. It’s going to be fun.”

Williams had the best season of his young NFL career in 2025, leading the Bears to the divisional round. Loveland, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 draft, led Chicago in receiving with 713 yards and six touchdowns on 58 receptions. Kmet, playing in his sixth season with the Bears, reeled in 30 catches for 347 yards and two touchdowns.
