Undrafted rookie Keith Kirkwood turning heads at Saints camp

Watching New Orleans Saints training camp, it would be impossible to know that rookie wide receiver Keith Kirkwood is relatively new to the game of football.

The 6-foot-3 Kirkwood looked like a natural catching passes during the first week of practice, and when other receivers like Cameron Meredith, Austin Carr and Tommylee Lewis missed time dealing with injuries, Kirkwood received opportunities with the first-team offense.

But, in Kirkwood's first interview of camp on Monday, he explained that he didn't begin playing football until his senior year of high school in New Jersey.

"My whole story is just amazing, and I wouldn't change anything about it," he said.
