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.
You can watch just about any game this year and see quickly that Kmet is a trash blocker. He’s still got tremendous value for his skills as a receiver. Watch any of J.T. O’Sullivan’s Justin Fields “QB School” videos on YT and Kmet gets exposed again and again as absolutely ass at blocking. He’s the best the Bears have at TE and I’m glad he’s here, but the truth is the truth.
