The beginning of Chiefs rookie minicamp marked the first real time defensive end Joshua Kaindoh has spent in Kansas City. The Baltimore native was taken out of Florida State by the Chiefs in the fourth round of this year’s draft — and Kansas City liked him because at 6’5 and 258 pounds, he profiles as a “prototypical Steve Spagnuolo defensive end.”
The 22-year-old acknowledged that in the college game, being a good athlete can get you by — but at the pro level, beginning now, requires a more nuanced approach.
“I know at lower levels, a lot of it has a lot of athleticism involved,” said Kaindoh on Friday.
