Can Cole Kmet & Colston Loveland Become the NFL’s Best TE Duo?
Hey Bears fans, take a look at this — things are getting real interesting in Chicago.
Cole Kmet admitted he was initially caught off guard when the Bears selected Colston Loveland in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. It was a surprising move— but one that didn’t leave Kmet puzzled for long.
After a call from new head coach Ben Johnson, everything clicked. Johnson laid out his vision: a two-tight end offensive scheme inspired by the explosive system he built in Detroit. For context, his 12 personnel packages (one running back, two tight ends) led the entire NFL in touchdowns last season — a whopping 29 scores out of that formation.
With that kind of pedigree, it’s hard not to buy in.
Kmet is coming off his best NFL season — 719 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns in 2024 — showing he’s more than ready to take the next step. Now, he’s paired with Loveland, who was widely regarded as the top tight end prospect in this year’s draft.
If this duo finds chemistry early, we could be looking at one of the most dynamic tight end combos in the league. And that’s exactly the kind of help rookie QB Caleb Williams will need to settle in and succeed at the next level.
So here’s the question for Bears Nation:
Do you believe Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland can become the NFL’s best tight end duo?
