Malachi Toney’s freshman year was electric — he led the country in receptions (109), earned first‑team All‑ACC and Rookie of the Year honors, and topped it off with 10 catches for 122 yards in the national title game.
Keep an eye on several five‑star freshmen who could play right away — Miami’s monster recruit Jackson Cantwell (OT), Vanderbilt’s shock QB flip Jared Curtis, and USC’s big‑frame tight end Mark Bowman.
The recruiting roller coaster is a story itself: program-changing signees (Zion Elee at Maryland, Lamar Brown staying with LSU) and surprising flips are shaping who could surprise in 2026.

After a breakout 2025 (NFC North title and a Divisional-round trip), Chicago faces a tough 2026 slate — 12 games against teams that had winning records or made the playoffs last year, making a repeat a real challenge.
Colin Cowherd disagrees that it’s the league’s hardest schedule — noting Chicago has no opponents coming off a bye, gets three straight home games to start, and benefits from favorable game sequencing and extra rest before the Seattle matchup.
The Bears beefed up the defense (Coby Bryant, Tremaine Edmunds, first‑round safety Dillon Thieneman) while Caleb Williams continues to rise; they lost D.J. Moore but rookie targets Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III showed promise.
