The 6-2, 220-pound tight end and defensive end for the Texas Longhorns finished his college career in the East-West Shrine Game. The Bears made him the No. 10 pick in the first round of the 1956 draft, but Schriewer rebuked George Halas in favor of the Canadian Football League.

Chicago chose Loveland over Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who went to Indianapolis at No. 14. He gives the Bears a potentially potent tight end tandem with Cole Kmet.
