His parent must be so proud. Kid worked so hard, went to an Ivy League school and went to the NFL. Cheering for you Kiran!!!

[@jedijata3078]

Definitely. And they should be proud of the job they did with their kids, too. I'm 10x more a fan of this young man now.

[@holistic_holidaze6469]

He looks like the prototype for an nfl tackle. He is a beast, would think hes stronger than jones

[@johnwillis8880]

Love This Dude Bear Down

Love seeing Bears kids becoming Bears players. Kiran, Kmet, TJ Edwards, Sanborn, Rome all grew up Bears fans!

[@tonyarriaga192]

Everyone you named are from Chicago except Rome

[@barrymccockiner773]

@@tonyarriaga192he grew up a Bears fan cause of Hester. Doesn’t matter that he’s not from here

[@mgo4917]

He didn’t allow a sack in his last 900 plus snaps! He’s got the goods, the right attitude, the desire and is playing for his home team. This kid is about to live the dream! Go Kiran! Let’s Go Bears!!!🐻🏈

[@4toetroll]

These are amazing parents

[@Darkmind079]

As Bears’ fans I believe we will have the pleasure of fucking around and finding out about Kiran Amegadjie! 🐻⬇️

[@johcoh1]

What an inspirational young man!

[@Scottishbear582]

Love this kid Kiran Amegadjie as a bears fan that was critical of previous Bears O-Lines with bad play showing accountability. He will eventually find a way into this team. You just know he's going to be great 🐻⬇️

[@moemo284]

Trashing anyone for anything is a straight dick move

[@user-vi5vd3ty9d]

Congrats to homie. Glad we got a home grown talent.

[@JayFly415]

Grew up in Hinsdale. I wish nothing but good things for this man.

[@moonwalker4eva712]

I love our homegrown talent. They always play with extra intensity because they love the team as much as we do! Chicago up & Bear Down baby!!!

[@daringachne4364]

Honestly if Braxton at LT or Davis at RG don't work out this year I could see this guy taking one of those OL spots he has that much promis and upside to him.

[@JasonUKBears]

I LOVE these videos. Bring those pancakes to Chi town Kiran! 🥞 🏈 The future is bright! 🐻⬇️

[@Sherpkilgore]

Why are these Bears documentaries so good? Applaud the media team, this is great

[@yakabatuka]

[@ryanmcsherry110]

Calling it now. He will be a starting tackle for the Bears alongside Darnell Wright within a few years.

[@kyledabearsfan]

I was happy to get this dude, seems like a hard working man. Bear Down, welcome to my favorite team! I cant wait to see you ball out! What a good dad lol "get your a**, over here". Love to see such beautiful families helping each other grow and prosper. God Bless America, God Bless the Chicago Bears.

[@taylortriplett]

Awesome family! Great Journey to the NFL, congratulations kid. BEAR DOWN

[@IamPlank1920]

Can't wait to see this DAWG on the field!

[@johnnysilver5866]

God it’s July 9th, we needed this content.

[@uralljabrones]

poised, articulate, intelligent and hard working... this man will go places

[@josephpayton7522]

With the Bakhtiari rumors, this seems like the Bears saying calm down to the fans. We already have our depth with Kiran.

[@johnscharnhorst3432]

Man I can't wait to see you on the field.. Bear Down.🐻🔽🏈

[@collinsk85]

GO BEARS 🧡💙🏈🐻⬇️🙌🏾

[@chucho91234]

Hinsdale is a nice town! 🤑

[@LoganMcArtor]

This is so cool. One of my son’s best friends came from Togo about 6 years ago. They’re 11 now. And he’s wanting to join my son’s team this year for the first time. He had great hands and is strong af for an 11 year old. 🔥

[@dvegasallstar]

This America at its finest 🇺🇸

[@ryanbeverley1546]

You know he is gonna get emotional walking onto Soldier Field the first time as a Bear!

[@user-cj8kz1dq3y]

Get your @ss overhere.......That's a dad!! BEAR DOWN from the Netherlands!!!

[@sniper7ize]

Comes from a good family. Seems like a humble guy. He’s gonna have a great career. 🐻⬇️

[@dysfunkshunel]

Gonna need a brick wall soon. Gettin' hard not running through one for this team.

[@jakedeak8736]

COVID ruined a lot and for little to no reason! But you made the dream come true, that's tough. Congrats to the new big guy!

[@MMony-f1v]

I have known Kiran and Mawain for many years, they are friends of my kids and I attended many of their games with their parents. They are terrific young people-it is exciting to see them doing so well.

[@vs820]

the most well mannered family I've ever seen

[@IamPlank1920]

BEAR DOWN!

[@DaBurrs7]

Great scouting man. This kid is bright and hungry. Watch out Braxton!

[@eddiesmith5682]

It's so great to see players from my highschool on the Bears. Red Devil Nation! Go Bears!

[@Beardownsports]

Awesome episode!! Bear Down!

[@marktravls-ry4pt]

This may go down as the single best draft Haul in NFL history

[@brandonjohnson937]

This was amazing❗️💯

[@derickbeltran8263]

Al netter it’s great to see that your doing what you love my guy. God bless

[@brasefr]

Only thing about him I’m not a fan of is that he went to Hinsdale Central. Now obviously I’m kidding, love this kid. Bear down

[@thomasbgage]

one of my new favorite players

[@mikebleski9717]

There's a lot to like with this guy. Seems to have good character, solid foundation, humble attitude. Time will tell if he can actually play at a high level. Here's to hoping he can.

[@dondavidson4910]

I feel like putting on a helmet again after watching this!

[@kentikeef]

LFG Kiran 🐻⬇

[@DJProphetNM]

Clock is ticking on Braxton.

[@sheffrudytke1086]

The pic of him with the bucket. Back in '51. Downers Grove Noth left their bucket there and Hinsdale Central said you want it back you have to play us for it. So each yr they play each other winner keeps the bucket. Seniors get their names in it. I played at Downers Grove North.

[@humbertoreyes6510]

need his jersey

[@lupecanez9631]

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE JUST HEARD HIS RESUME FROM HIS RELATIVES AND HIMSELF ! HE ALSO SOUNDS LIKE HE'S HUNGRY TO BALL FOR OUR TEAM , AND THOSE FILM CLIPS , YEAH HE'S A HUNGRY KID . I JUST THEY WHEN BRING HIM , HE'S COACHED GOOD ! HE KEPT UP WITH HIS STUDIES IN SCHOOL , THAT SAYS A LOT OF HIMSELF TOO AND I THINK IT'S CALLED COMMITMENT ,YES SIR " COMMITMENT " . HE CERTAINLY WORKS HARD , AND IF HE'S ASSIGNED TO THE O - LINE HE'LL BE AN OUTSTANDING BODY GUARD FOR CALEB ! OUTSTANDING REPORT ! THE MAGIC WORD. REBUILD , AND THE MAGICIAN. G.M. POLES. YEAH THAT'S THE TICKET ! " BEAR DOWN CHI - TOWN BEARS "

[@sunquilwooten2934]

We drafted two players whose fav player growing up was Devin Hester. Says a lot about how dynamic Devin was but its kinda indicting on how bad we've been over the years with adding legitimate talent to the team.

[@kaminator515]

I think Kiran will start sooner than later

[@spencedelic]

It’s wild how much his voice sounds like Poles’ lol

[@MarcoLiftz]

1:05 his dad is a real one 😂

[@user-ju3ii2lt5u]

Resemble his mom alot

[@Donvsop5383]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kevincordero4742]

Put this kid at LG, move Tev back to RG where he and Darnell Wright made a tremendous tandem. Then trade away Nate Davis and sign Connor Williams at center. 😅 Please and Thank You

[@Jacksonhutchins69]

I am here

[@Bo2xOfficialMusic]

Put him at RG to take Nate Davis slot

[@okstever]

I think the Bears plan on moving on from Jenkins and possibly Jones down the road. Will be an interesting next couple of seasons to see how this line is built to protect CW.

[@sunquilwooten2934]

Home run selection.

[@chucho91234]

Please be good

[@MadHattered]

Wheres the rest

[@lestercombs1871]

Bear down

[@chuckw43]

sign caleb pls

[@user-vi5vd3ty9d]

Lmao, they will on hard knocks episode 1. Bear down.

[@r.wilwil9852]

It is highly probable that he manifested himself on to this team. He played well in college. He's a local boy & turned out to be the best available player when the Chicago Bears draft pick came up. I hope he balls out!!! Some people thinks he can beat Braxton out this year... We will see! BEAR 🐻 DOWN 👇

[@JayEm6885]

Excellent video package. Really good kid & family, but between having the king of your village come to a gathering at your house for the draft, & his parents' accents, this had a very Wakandian tinge.

[@WindyCity888]

“Nothing will be handed to you”, made it out of the mean streets of Hinsdale.

[@lordpeonix]

I think he meant on the field not outside of that…
