Chicago Bears 2020 NFL Draft class: Meet the rookies

The Sun-Times spent the NFL’s long offseason breaking down the Bears’ draft picks — and an undrafted free agent with a famous name. As the Bears prepare to report to training camp later this month, here’s a primer about the most notable names in their 2020 draft haul:

Round 2

Pick 43: Notre Dame TE Cole Kmet

Bears coach Matt Nagy said he can tell the local product “has that ‘want,’” even from team meetings. “I can’t trick him,” Nagy said.

Pick 50: Utah CB Jaylon Johnson

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham compares Johnson favorably to safety Eric Weddle, probably the best defensive player he’s ever coached.
