Sam Roush

Roush is a fluid mover. He has solid footwork off the line and at the top of stem to earn separation, but he lacks top-end speed to threaten the seam or explode with the ball in his hands. Roush has functional strength limitations that show up in his blocking. He is a tenacious, high-effort blocker, but he can get blown back by powerful defenders. He's best utilized when asking him to combo block with a lineman or chipping before he gets into his route. Roush isn't a dynamic YAC threat with only 5.3 yards after the catch per reception in his collegiate career, and only three missed tackles in his final season.

The Chicago Bears have selected TE Sam Roush with the No. 69 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Roush was very productive as a receiver at Stanford. He also showed flashes of his upside as a blocker at times, but he was more of a receiver in college. He'll likely slide in behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet in the Bears tight end room.
