WATCH: Cole Kmet catches first career touchdown in traffic

Share

The Bears totally revamped their tight end position this offseason, and veteran Jimmy Graham had great things to say about his rookie teammate Cole Kmet as they gear up for the 2020 season.

Bears second-round draft pick Cole Kmet finally found the end zone, scoring his first career touchdown in the first quarter of the Bears’ Week 6 matchup against the Panthers.

Up to this point Kmet had been held to one reception as he learns the ropes from Jimmy Graham. The touchdown came at a crucial moment, too. Following an interception that gave the Bears in the red zone already, the Bears found themselves with a third-and-goal, outside the 10-yard line. But Kmet beat his man to the center of the endzone by a step and Foles found him to take a quick 7-0 lead.

Unsurprisingly Bears twitter was pretty excited.
