NFC Notes: Logan Jones, Sam Roush, Dillon Thieneman, Bears, Vikings

Bears

Bears rookie TE Sam Roush said he is looking forward to learning from starting TE Colston Loveland in Chicago.

“Chicago, we’re top five in 12 and 13 personnel usage,” Roush said, via BearsWire.com. “And, obviously, it’s an extremely talented tight end room, and that’s something that’s going to get talked about. But, I’m going to come in and I’m going to compete, iron sharpens iron, going to make the room better. I’m really excited to learn from those guys.”

Bears
