Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy believes Kmet can be a rock star on offense, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Although he ranked eighth in tight-end targets last year with 93, the 23-year-old failed to score a touchdown. However, with favored red-zone target Jimmy Graham no longer on the team, it's likely that Kmet will see more looks at the goal line. Getsy pointed out that the 2020 second-round pick is starting to use the "really cool tools" he has. He's lining up out wide and working in line as well as blocking. The coach also believes Kmet is on the brink of taking his game to another level. It's possible that the tight end could emerge as the second-most reliable receiving option on the Bears after Darnell Mooney. Currently being drafted just outside the top-10 tight ends, if Kmet takes a big step forward in his third season, he could be a draft-day bargain.
