The Chicago Bears selected Stanford TE Sam Roush with the 69th pick in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Roush spent all four college seasons at Stanford. He capped 2025 with a career-best 49-545-2 line. Roush profiles as a traditional inline TE. His strengths lie in blocking and red-zone work. That limits his fantasy appeal, but he wins contested catches and uses his frame to break tackles. He impressed during the offseason process and showed more receiving upside than his college production suggested. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Roush ranked 21st in 2025 aDOT (6.3), and third in team market share of receiving yards (22.9%). He ranked seventh in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (1.51) and 19th in receiving yards per route run (1.39). He is currently 22 years old.
