The Chicago Bears just another tight end at No. 69 by drafting Sam Roush, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound “Y” tight end who pairing an elite 9.99 Relative Athletic Score with a massive 38.5-inch vertical that makes him a potential mismatch running down the seam. Roush’s 9.99 RAS (3rd-best all-time at the position) shows he has the explosiveness to compete on Sundays.
In dynasty formats, Roush joins a room with Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet so the path toward playing time and targets is unclear, but he could become a valuable asset if the depth chart is to change.
The Chicago Bears have selected Stanford tight end prospect ...
Sam Roush, the 6-foot-6, 259-pound pound Standford tight end, put up a respectable 4.70 second 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine, showcasing good athleticism for his size, which ranked third among all tight ends at the combine for his athleticism. His size, blocking strength, and reliable hands reinforced his profile as a multi-role tight end at the next level, who can contribute in both run and pass schemes.
Roush’s physical tools and well-rounded skill set should keep him in draft conversations as a Day 2-3 prospect whose value comes as much from his blocking than his receiving ability.
