Chiefs Sign First of Seven Draft Picks
On Tuesday afternoon the Chiefs announced the signing of 5th-round selection S Kendrick Lewis, the first of their seven 2010 draft choices to ink a contract.
Lewis was the 136th player selected in April’s NFL Draft, joining the Chiefs out of the University of Mississippi. The Louisiana native spent a lot of time with the team’s No. 1 defense at free safety during the spring practices. He should compete for playing time if not a starting spot when training camp opens in a month.
Reportedly it’s a three-year deal for $1.37 million with a signing bonus in the $155,000 range.
Lewis was represented by James “Bus” Cook out of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Cook is better known as the agent for QB Brett Favre.
Good news. Hopefully, more will follow in the near future…and we have all of our picks in Camp on Day 1.
Awesome! I see big things out of this kid…
At least it is a first signing. Someone gets cut so much for their 15min of fame.
big kendrick lewis fan already…get it done as our second safety, maybe the 3rd/special teams ace and Ill be content either way.
Good starting place and a player with good potential.
