# Sam Roush

NFL player. Position: **TE**. Team: **CHI**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** TE
- **Team:** CHI (Chicago Bears)
- **Draft:** 2026 NFL Draft, Round 3

## 2026 Outlook

2026 third-round draft pick for the Bears. Was among the last unsigned draft picks in the 2026 class due to a minor bottleneck in round 3 negotiations, with signing delayed while higher picks in the round were finalized (per Sam Roush Is Last Bears Rookie Unsigned as Rare Round 3 Bottleneck Forms).

Roush is among a class of tight ends drafted due to the league-wide shift toward 13 personnel (three tight ends), especially after the Rams popularized the scheme. Chicago offensive coordinator Ben Johnson appears intent on expanding 13 personnel usage beyond last season's 8.52% snap rate. Roush's blocking prowess makes him an ideal fit for this offensive philosophy. (per How a League-Wide Trend Forced Teams Into Stunning NFL Draft Decisions)
