What happened: PFF included tight end Colston Loveland on a list of 10 NFL players it projects could earn their first All-Pro selection in 2026. The outlet frames his second season as a potential breakout, tying him to a group of ascending players entering pivotal years. PFF floated Loveland as a 2026 first-time All-Pro candidate back in early June, making this the second such projection this offseason.

Why it matters: A first-time All-Pro projection for a tight end entering just his second season signals rising expectations for his target share and red-zone role heading into 2026. Repeated public projections from the same outlet add to a growing external case for Loveland as a focal point of his team's passing attack this fall.

What to watch: Watch how Loveland's route tree and snap share develop through training camp and preseason as the projection gets tested against real usage.
