The talent level on this Chicago Bears team in 2026 is unlike any the fan base has seen in a long time, as it feels this might be the only team that could get them back into the Super Bowl for the first time in two decades.
What makes this Bears team special is its youth and how quickly it has adapted to their head coach Ben Johnson's system. This franchise is on the heels of greatness, and it is all their talent under the age of 28 that will play a massive role in that.
Looking at the roster, there are three players who have yet to make an All-Pro team in their careers who feel like 2026 is going to be the season where they finally get it done. Here is a look at the three players who could potentially get it done and reach new levels of stardom.
Colston Loveland, TE
Loveland had a strong rookie season with the Bears, going for 713 yards and six touchdowns, both categories leading or tied for the lead on the team. It was a slow start to the 2025 campaign, but after his 118-yard, two-touchdown game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the light switch was turned on, and no defense could switch it off the rest of the year.
Entering 2026, Loveland is expected to put up even bigger numbers, with some already believing he's one of the top 20 players in the NFL. If he repeats what he did on the back half of the 2025 season, he might be in on some record-breaking stats in Year 2.
Coby Bryant, S
Among the defensive players, Montez Sweat might be the only other one that could be considered for making an All-Pro team, but why not Bryant? Last year, a Bears safety, Kevin Byard, was an All-Pro after leading the NFL in interceptions with seven, so Bryant could do the same thing.
Bryant may not be the playmaker that Byard is, but he can do more and play more consistently in coverage than Byard. Watch for Bryant to use his instincts in pass coverage to pick off more footballs and have a career year under Dennis Allen's scheme that is perfect for his skill set.

Caleb Williams, QB
This feels like the easiest choice on the team, but Williams almost feels like he is in for a monster season in Year 3 of the NFL. Last year, a small glimpse of his future was shown as he threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards and scored 31 total touchdowns, while throwing just seven interceptions.
From the insane throws to the seven comebacks and game-winning drives he had to lead last year, Williams is only getting better as a quarterback in this league. This is the season where he puts it all together and becomes a megastar the franchise has never seen in the most important position.
