LaVance Taylor signed by Chiefs day after tweeting them highlight video

LaVance Taylor, a running back out of Central Missouri, was not selected in this year’s NFL Draft. However, thanks to a seemingly innocent (yet hopeful) tweet, he’s now a member of an NFL team.

On Wednesday, Taylor sent the above highlight video of himself to the Chiefs via Twitter. “@KCChiefs hey my name is LaVance Taylor and I am currently a free agent and I wanted you to check me out.” Taylor wrote along with posting the 12-minute showcase of his skills.

Fortunately for Taylor, the Chiefs were in need of a running back after they released Cyrus Gray and Keshawn Hill suffered a hamstring injury.
