Notre Dame/Bears: Cole Kmet Gets Fitting First NFL Number

Notre Dame product got his first NFL jersey number Saturday.
That number is fitting for a Chicago kid to get to wear for the Bears.

Notre Dame product and second round draft pick of the Chicago Bears, Cole Kmet got his jersey number assignment for 2020 Saturday and for a young man who grew up in Chicagoland, it’s about as fitting as a number can be for a Chicago Bear.

So long to the 84 that Kmet wore at Notre Dame, Kmet will be showing off 85 in blue and orange this football season.

For a kid who grew up a Bears fan it feels oddly fitting in a way that he’ll wear the number that associates with perhaps the most famous football team from a single season in NFL history.

Cole Kmet:  85, Bears.

Pretty cool for a guy who grew up with a Brian Urlacher (not an ’85 Bear) Fathead on his bedroom wall.
