Kansas linebacker Joe Dineen is a Lawrence native and grew up a Kansas City Chiefs fan.
So yes, the fact he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos on Saturday night is going to take some getting used to.
“It’s weird for sure, but I’m just really excited,” Dineen told The Star. “It’s close enough to home where friends and family could come and watch, and obviously we play the Chiefs twice a year, so I think it’s a good situation all around.”
The bottom line for Dineen: Denver presented the best opportunity at making a team.
