"Roush is a tremendous in-line-blocking tight end, which Johnson finds valuable (if not essential) to his offense. In a draft landscape full of pass-catching tight ends, Roush stands out as one of the few plug-and-play 'Y' tight ends available."
"He can make cut-off blocks in zone and combo blocks in gap schemes. He holds his own in pass protection, too. While his catch production might draw questions, his size, toughness and pro-ready blocking profile could push him into Day 2 consideration."
The Chicago Bears traded back nine spots with the Tennessee Titans and selected tight end Sam Roush at 69th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the first two picks were well-received, the choice of Roush has raised some eyebrows. Roush is recognized for his in-line blocking capabilities, which are valued in the Bears' offensive scheme. Despite concerns about his receiving skills, his toughness and blocking profile may justify his selection in the draft.
