Bears' T.J. Edwards, Colston Loveland winners of Brian Piccolo Award

Courage. Loyalty. Teamwork.

Dedication. A sense of humor. Those are just a few traits that described the late Brian Piccolo.

Every year, the Chicago Bears select a veteran and a rookie that best exemplify those traits to honor the former Bears running back with the Brian Piccolo Award. This year's recipients are linebacker T. J.

Edwards (a three-time winner) and tight end Colston Loveland. Edwards has now won the award for three straight years, and he's been a key defensive leader since signing with the Bears in 2023. The Bears signed Edwards to a two-year contract extension last April, keeping him in Chicago through 2027, but he didn't live up to it during the 2025 season.
