Bears TE Cole Kmet on outlasting roster turnover: Adaptability is the key to longevity
By

Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has survived multiple coaching changes and roster turnovers entering his seventh season with the team. Despite head coach Ben Johnson drafting two tight ends in his first two drafts (Colston Loveland at No. 10 overall and Sam Roush in the third round), Kmet has adapted his game to fit each coach's needs, which he credits as the key to his longevity. Kmet laughs off the competition, acknowledging the calls from Johnson about each new tight end draft pick, and continues to prove his versatility and value to the organization.
