Brett Veach says Chiefs drafted Darian Kinnard to play right tackle

One of the fascinating images of the 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas was captured during Saturday’s fifth-round — when retired U.S. Army veteran (and passionate Kansas City Chiefs fan) John Brunson announced his favorite team had traded up to get Kentucky offensive tackle Darian Kinnard with the 145th overall pick.

As an excited Brunson waved the card over his head, Getty Images photographer David Becker managed to catch a clear image of it. Despite the fact that Kinnard had been the Wildcats’ starting right tackle for three seasons, the NFL (and most pre-draft big boards) had listed him as a guard.
