For the most part, the selection of Cole Kmet in the 2nd round of the NFL draft was met with widespread shrugs. Experts feel the Chicago Bears got a solid athlete with decent upside who can be a strong two-way tight end who can block and catch. It’s certainly a fun story. Kmet grew up in the Chicago suburbs and became a standout at Notre Dame. Playing for the Bears is a dream for him. One of his biggest advocates the past couple of months has been head coach Matt Nagy.
It hasn’t taken long for Kmet to endear himself to Nagy.
