It has been one hell of a rookie season for former Miami Hurricanes star Kamren Kinchens. And lordy, how the 2022 first-team All-American closed a lot of mouths along the way.
Kinchens, as Miami fans recall, saw his stock at an all-time low after a pretty forgettable 2023 season that saw him seem to regress, particularly in pass defense. His poor combine numbers - which included a 4.65 40-yard dash time - also raised further questions ahead of the draft by many draft pundits. As such, Kinchens, once projected to be a first round pick, didn’t end up hearing his name called until very late in round three with the Rams (pick number 99).
