There is not much to get excited about when the Chicago Bears take on the Minnesota Vikings in their season finale. The Bears are set to fire their head coach and should be making changes even higher in the front office. Their franchise quarterback is out, and Teven Jenkins is expected to watch and learn from the Hall of Famer Jason Peters.

Still, there are a few players that can use this game to experience and despite plenty of roster changes, some players will certainly be back. If you are going to watch this game then you need to be paying attention to these five players.

5. Cole Kmet

Some fans are not as high on Cole Kmet as others. However, when you factor in that he is 22 years old and that tight end is one of the toughest positions to adjust to, he is actually doing rather well statistically for his age.

With 807 career yards, Kmet is 12th all-time in yards from a tight end before turning 23. He can 33 yards would but him to 11 and 47 would get him up into the top 10 at his age. Even 87 yards would catch Jeremy Shockey for 9th all-time.

That is about as high as he can climb, but that is rather impressive considering where he is. 33-87 yards is in range for Kmet this week, so fans should at least be watching to see how high he can climb.
