This dude got so much (unwarranted) hate early in the season, especially after his extension, but he’s done nothing but impress in his fourth year as a safety valve, blocker, and redzone threat.
Definitely one of Poles’ best moves as a GM so far, despite the earlier general consensus that we overspent on him among the fanbase. He could soon make a case for being a top 5 TE in the NFL, and he doesn’t get nearly enough recognition.
Can we also appreciate he’s a local boy who grew up WANTING TO BE ON THE BEARS! It’s not like he’s a player who happened upon us and we are lucky to have him. If you watched his draft, his Mom was crying because she knew this was his dream. He showed up, put in the work, and is balling out. If you are wondering what modern player jersey to buy, Kmet should be at the top of your list.
