Following a minicamp tryout, the Kansas City Chiefs signed former Blue Springs High School, North Dakota State and Green Bay Packers wide receiver Darrius Shepherd to a contract on June 17.
Speaking with reporters over the weekend — while appearing at Carson Wentz’s Audience of One Foundation charity softball game at NDSU’s Newman Outdoor Field — Shepherd said he’s finally getting a chance to play for the team he’s supported his whole life.
“Since I can remember, that’s the only team I rooted for growing up,” he told reporters, via Inforum.
