There’s been a ton of excitement with tight end Cole Kmet being drafted by his hometown Chicago Bears with the 43rd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Following footage of an emotional reaction as Kmet and family learned he was being selected by the Bears, the Lake Barrington community outside of Chicago decided to share their congratulations for the former Notre Dame tight end, who’s staying local for his NFL career.
Check out this video of a drive-by parade, where locals were driving by in their cars honking, cheering and even handing out flowers to the Kmet family. According to Tom Loy, the parade lasted 45 minutes straight, and there’s a lot of love shared for Chicago’s top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Bears got the best tight end in the NFL Draft with Kmet, who has the ability to contribute as a blocker and as a threat in the passing game. For a Bears team desperate for production at the tight end position, look for Kmet to be a big part of this offense.
