TIGHT END TAKEOVER: With Sam Roush, Does Chicago Have the Best Tight End Group? | CHGO Bears Podcast
5/1/20261 hr 7 min
The Chicago Bears add tight end Sam Roush in the third round of the NFL Draft, and Adam Hoge and Mark Carman take a deep dive into what he brings to the offense. How does Roush fit into the Bears’ tight end room, and what does his addition mean for the group moving forward? The guys also sit down with Stanford tight ends coach Nate Byham, who coached Roush and helped develop him into a Second Team All-ACC selection in 2025. Byham shares insight into Roush’s game, development, and why he could be a strong fit for the Chicago Bears. Plus, Hoge gives his opinion on the best and worst draft picks chosen by teams in the NFC North.
