Colston Loveland has captured the hearts of plenty of NFL fans, as a his rookie talent show performance from the Chicago Bears facility has resurfaced online.
The first-year tight end continued with a theme from around the league, where rookies have to perform a talent in front of the team as an initiation of sorts to the NFL.
Loveland, 21, chose to sing the cult-favorite R&B jam 'Let Me Love You' by Mario in front of his teammates, with his dance moves winning over the roster.
Right before the first chorus, his fellow Bears started singing along to a song most millennials know the words to.
'That was just a song I've been listening to forever and it was something I actually knew,' Loveland said earlier this month. 'I knew I could sing it without an instrumental if I had to. I felt confident.'
That swagger translated through the screen as he's now on the radar of NFL fans for something having nothing to do with football.

'Bro trying to secure TE1 and a record deal in the same offseason,' one person said on X.
'(Colston) "Mr. Steal Yo Girl" Loveland,' a second fan stated.
'They all joined and killed it!!!' a third continued.
'Can’t spell Loveland and leave out the Love,' a fourth added.
'Defense couldn’t stop him… neither could the high notes,' a fifth concluded.
A collection of social-media messages about rookie Colston Loveland's musical performance
Loveland originally got a roar from his teammates before he sang due to him admitting he got a $16million signing bonus with the Bears.
That type of money comes as he was the franchise's first-round pick in 2025, being selected No 10 overall.
Loveland joins rookie Luther Burden as additions to Chicago's offense, with hope that Caleb Williams and new head coach Ben Johnson can break through and challenge the NFC North's elite, with the other three teams in the Bears' division all making the postseason last year.
If Loveland's vocal talents are a preview of how good he can be on the gridiron, the Windy City may be in for an improved NFL squad.
