There’s nothing like watching a football player’s reaction to learning that he’s achieved his life-long goal of making it to the NFL.
It’s something that has made the NFL Draft personal. While we didn’t get the traditional NFL Draft this year, with the entire affair being virtual, we still got to see the reactions of players learning they were drafted by an NFL club.
One of those players was new Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet, who was surrounded by friends and family in his hometown of Arlington Heights, IL.
The Bears Twitter account shared video of head coach Matt Nagy making the call to Kmet to welcome him to the team, as well as a video of Kmet’s reaction to learning he was getting to play for the team he rooted for growing up.
And while Kmet’s emotional reaction was something special to watch, his family and friends might’ve stolen the show.
