During rookie minicamp at the Truman Sports Complex on Saturday, rookie offensive lineman Darian Kinnard took his first snaps wearing the red and gold jersey of his new team.
“It was really fun,” he told reporters on Sunday. “First practice of rookie minicamp with the Kansas City Chiefs. It was pretty cool.”
After Kansas City selected him in the fifth round of the NFL Draft just over a week ago, the initial story was that Kinnard — like fellow offensive lineman Trey Smith a year ago — would have a big motivation to show the league that he should have been taken earlier.
