The first tight end is off the board!

The Chicago Bears selected former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet with the No. 43 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

He played just ten games last season dealing with an injury but still had 43 catches for 515 yards and six scores.

During his time with Notre Dame, he had 60 catches for 691 yards and six scores.

He was a double major at Notre Dame and also pitched for the baseball team in 2018. His father Frank played defensive end for Purdue.
