(670 The Score) On Tuesday, Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet detailed how it'd be a dream to be selected by his hometown Bears in the NFL Draft.
On Friday evening, that dream came true.

Chicago selected Kmet, a Lake Barrington native, at No. 43 overall in the second round, addressing a position that was a black hole in 2019 and which is crucial to coach Matt Nagy's offense. With the draft being held virtually, Kmet learned of his new destination with a few family members and friends at home. He connected with Bears coach Matt Nagy on FaceTime to hear the news.

Watch his reaction below, with the video courtesy of the Notre Dame football program.
