Signs of life on Kirby, Finally!!!!

[Warren]

I guess the positive spin is that he shouldn't exactly be worn down from overuse in college or the NFL. He was a star recruit from a Mississippi high school but also dyslexic and has ADD. He signed with Ole Miss in 2005 but didn't qualify academically so he went to a prep school. He still didn't qualify but kept trying, working as a jailer while trying to get his grades in order. In 2007, the NCAA granted him a waiver allowing him to go to school at Ole Miss on a football scholarship but not play. He finally suited up as a junior in 2009 and played two seasons before being drafted in the 6th round by the Chiefs.

He rarely saw the field in KC (12 games) and was waived in the final cutdown last year. They re-signed him in December. Coming out of college he was supposed to be a widebody who can handle double teams and push the pocket but not much of a penetrator and not always the best conditioned guy around.
