10 future questions emerging for Chicago Bears after loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
1. Is Cole Kmet quietly going to have a solid year for the Chicago Bears?
It is going unnoticed, and it is only two games this season, but Cole Kmet is quietly improving this season. He has averaged 4.5 catches per game and 41 yards per game; both would be career highs. For his career, he averages 2.8 catches and 28.5 yards per game. He has nine catches, and four of them have gone for first downs.
While the Chicago Bears offense is rough right now, you would think this is the worse. The offensive line should start to gel, and Luke Getsy and Justin Fields both improved as the year went on last season.

So, if the rest of the pieces around him get better, will his stats only improve from here? If so, the Chicago Bears may have something. Kmet is only 24 this season, so the best should still be coming. This would be a big leap for Kmet, and it would come when the team needs a pass catcher. Will this be a career year for Cole Kmet?
