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.
TE is one of the hardest positions to learn. Kmet was drafted young. He’s still only 24. He’s improved every year and is often asked to do things that hurt his receiving production. But he never complains. He does his damndest. Dude is a great Bear.
