Khalen Saunders faced a tough decision earlier this year.
Saunders, a defensive lineman at Western Illinois, made the decision not to be with his wife, Ayanna, when she gave birth to the couple’s daughter in January. The reason? Saunders was at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
After being picked Friday by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Saunders opened up about missing Kambridge’s entrance in the world.
“It was tough decision that to be made. But my wife and I decided it was best for us at that time,” Saunders said.
