Darian Kinnard to Chiefs in NFL Draft

The Kentucky Wildcats were lucky to have one of the best offensive linemen in the country, Darian Kinnard, manning the right tackle positions for four years.

Now, Kinnard is off to the NFL as his professional aspirations came true tonight when he was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. He was the 145th overall pick in Round 5 of the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-5, 345-pound behemoth came into Kentucky as a highly-touted recruit. The former U.S. Army All-American was ranked as a 4-star prospect by 247 Sports and the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.
