A little perspective on Cole Kmet
One player that has endured a lot of criticism inside Bears nation is Cole Kmet. While he has flaws as a player, I truly believe Kmet has shown enough to prove that he deserves to be a starting tight end in the NFL. The biggest critique of him is that he does not score touchdowns. Indeed, last season, he had 60 receptions for 612 yards, but he failed to score a touchdown.
While it's not great for a tight end, I believe this is more bad luck/bad utilization from the coaching staff. He was not receiving targets in the redzone. Jimmy Graham and Jesper Horsted were getting the bulk of the action near the goal line. This is a mystery as to why this was the case, but it still was.
However, I believe that if he gets used a little more as a redzone threat, the scores will come and he can really turn into a top 10 tight end in the league. Justin Fields is known to love his tight end a lot.
