Cole Kmet plays for theChicago Bears, which means he’s not exactly the most likable guy in the eyes ofGreen Bay Packers fans. That’s just how it is in the world of the NFC North division, particularly between rival teams.
Of course, the feeling is mutual, as Kmet doesn’t seem to be very fond of the Packers, either, which is understandable for obvious reasons.
That is also why it wasn’t much of a surprise to learn the vulgar message that the tight end wrote on a fan’s Bears helmet, particularly targeted at the Packers.

Despite the nature of the message, it’s probably just all for fun for Kmet, who is entering his fifth season in the NFL.

Kmet’s troll job on the Packers has garnered some attention on social media. The image has been posted onRedditand on X (formerly Twitter), with many reacting to it.
“The rivalry has always been alive but the win definitely helped 🐻,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “Rent free”
From a commenter: “Bears whole world revolves around the packers 😂😂”
“There’s no such thing as a rivalry when one team wins all the time. 9-1 in the last 10, not a rivalry,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Dude will probably get cut after they drafted Loveland now. Then alienates himself from a team. Dummy lol 😂”
Said another: “1-11 in the last 12 and you think it’s “sparking up again”. Loser franchise with a loser mentality.”
Last season, Kmet and the Bears went 1-1 against the Packers. Green Bay won the first matchup in Week 11 at Soldier Field while Chicago took the victory in Week 18 at Lambeau Field.
