Bears tight end Cole Kmet listed among 7 rookies who can break out right away

The goal of every general manager for the NFL Draft is to select a player who can make an instant impact as a rookie. It becomes more challenging to accomplish that goal without a first-round pick, but Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace made the most of his choice at No. 43 overall, Notre Dame tight end, Cole Kmet.

According to Sports Illustrated, Kmet is one of seven rookies who can break out right away in 2020.

Kmet is one of approximately 1,100 tight ends on the Bears’ roster right now but shouldn’t have a difficult time working his way into a regular timeshare with Jimmy Graham.
