A former Wildcat is headed to this year's Super Bowl
The former Wildcat offensive lineman played in Lexington from 2018-2021. Through his four years, he appeared in 44 games across the offensive line for Kentucky.
Kinnard is unlikely to play in the Super Bowl, as he's a backup offensive guard for Philadelphia. However, with starting center Cam Jurgens continuing to play through injury, there is a path to playing time for the former Wildcat.
Ironically, Kinnard and the Eagles are set to take on the team that originally drafted him: the Kansas City Chiefs. The offensive lineman was taken in the fifth round (145th overall) of the 2022 NFL draft.
Kinnard played sparingly in Kansas City, appearing in just six special teams snaps and failing to record a single snap on the offensive line. He'd go on to win the Super Bowl with the Chiefs despite not being active, taking home a ring against his future employers.
The Chiefs took home a 38-35 win in Super Bowl LVII, Kinnard got his ring, and Kansas City cut him.
Kinnard spent the 2023-23 season without a home before landing in Philadelphia after a strong preseason.
He played all 68 offensive snaps in week 18, and is now set for a shot at another ring on February 9.

Eagles training camp: Latest on six position battles following the first preseason game
Philadelphia beat Indianapolis 34-27 in the preseason opener, and we're checking out the latest on six early position battles to watch. The Super Bowl champions have their rings and have transitioned back to the practice field for installs and game-like activities at the NovaCare Complex. The Eagles made moves to strengthen some positions and fill pressing roster needs. Philadelphia added ten talented rookies on NFL draft weekend, as well as several high-profile free agents, who will enhance the competition in the coming days. After weeks of waiting for rabid fans, the media, and the NFL, the Eagles kicked off the preseason with a 34-27 win over the Bengals that saw key starters and contributors sit out. Philadelphia has an action-packed week that includes two days of joint practice with the Browns before a Friday preseason game. With the competition heating up, we're looking at the latest on the position battles. Backup running back NFL Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley logged 345 rushing attempts and 2005 yards rushing in the 2024 regular season. After helping the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl, head coach Nick Sirianni and OC Kevin Patullo could be looking to lighten Barkley's load slightly in 2025. Will Shipley produced when given opportunities as a rookie, and A.J. Dillon has always been a physical, reliable dual-threat running back. Shipley had seven carries for 48 yards in the opener (6.9 avg), while Dillon logged five carries for 27 yards and three catches for 27 yards. 3rd WR Spot A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are among the top ten at their positions, but both players missed multiple games in 2024. A reliable third option is a must for an offense that'll see teams shift towards taking away the duo on the outside. Jahan Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. Dotson's most likely competition will come from Johnny Wilson and undrafted rookie Darius Cooper. Wilson finished the preseason opener with three catches for 73 yards, while Cooper starred, catching six passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. Right guard position Tyler Steen lost training camp battles to Cam Jurgens in 2023 and Mekhi Becton in 2024, but has his best shot at earning the Eagles' right guard position in 2025. Kenyon Green was acquired in the trade for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, but he's been getting reps at left guard. Steen was impressive in the opener. Inside linebacker spot Zack Baun is an All-Pro; he'll be the engine that drives the Eagles' defense. He'll need a running mate while Nakobe Dean works to return from a patellar tendon injury that could cost him most of the 2025 season. That leaves first-round pick Jihaad Campbell, second-year linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and fifth-round pick Smael Mondon Jr. Campbell has been dominant in Eagles practice, while Trotter had six tackles and a QB hit in the opener. Mondon had four tackles. Left cornerback position The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Kelee Ringo and Jackson have battled throughout training camp, while Jakorian Bennett was acquired in a trade with the Raiders for Thomas Booker. Safety position The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Houston for Kenyon Green, opening up a starting role for Sydney Brown or Tristin McCollum. Brown is a physical safety who is stout on special teams but doesn't operate efficiently in space or match up against elite pass catchers. Enter Andrew Mukuba, a Swiss army knife from Texas who could keep Brown relegated to special team duties. Mukuba can play the slot, operate in space, and play with range, drawing comparisons to Gardner-Johnson. Early on, it's been Brown with the edge, and if the season started today, the third-year safety would get the nod over Makuba, who has battled injuries and inconsistent play. Andre Sam has been solid and is another player to watch.

Notable Ravens players who are 25 and under heading into the 2025 NFL season
With the preparation for the second preseason game against Dallas, we're looking at Baltimore's notable talent under 25. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the top teams in the NFL, and plenty of young talent to help usher in a Super Bowl window. Most franchises are based on their talent under the age of 25, and the Ravens have several notable, high-profile performers who are still in their prime. With the preparation for the second preseason game against Dallas, we're looking at Baltimore's notable talent under 25. OL Emery Jones: 21 The Ravens selected Jones at No. 91 overall after the offensive tackle spent three seasons at LSU. He was a two-time second-team All-SEC selection. DB Malaki Starks: 21 A two-time All-American and Thorpe Award finalist, Starks appeared in 43 games (42 starts) during his three-year career (2022-24) at Georgia…Helped the Bulldogs finish 15-0 and win the CFP National Championship during the 2022 season as a starting freshman DB Nate Wiggins: 21 Wiggins played in 15 games (six starts) as a rookie in 2024, tallying 32 tackles (24 solo), 1 INT (pick-6), 13 PD, 1 FF, and 1 ST tackles. Wiggins helped Baltimore's defense rank No. 1 against the run (80.1 ypg), No. 2 in sacks (54), and No. 5 (tied) in yards per play allowed (5.2) LB Teddye Buchanan: 22 Appeared in 49 games at LB during his one year (2024) at Cal and four years (2020-23) at UC Davis, totaling 321 tackles (160 solo), nine sacks, 8 INTs (1 INT-TD), 10 PD, 3 FFs, and 1 FR. OLB Mike Green: 22 An All-American at Marshall, in 2024, Green led all FBS players in sacks (17), sack yardage (-144), TFL (22.5), and TFL yardage (-155) for a Marshall team that went 10-3 and won the Sunbelt Conference championship. LB Jay Higgins: 23 An All-American and All-Big 10 selection, Higgins has the look of an under-the-radar player who could end up next to Roquan Smith. Higgins (6-0, 224) started all 13 games in his final season with the Hawkeyes, totaling a team high 124 tackles (53 solo), including 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, nine passes defensed, and four interceptions. OLB Adisa Isaac: 23 Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh are the unquestioned starters, but the Ravens are hoping 2024 third-round pick Adisa Isaac can take the next step. Isaac saw action in four games and played 32 defensive snaps, as his NFL debut was delayed by a hamstring issue, which sidelined him for the Ravens' first two games. RB Keaton Mitchell: 23 Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell says he feels better than he did three years ago. As a rookie, Mitchell led all running backs with at least a dozen attempts in yards per carry (8.4 avg), and he has set personal records in all of his speed tracking analytics this offseason. OL Roger Rosengarten: 23 After alternating snaps in the first three weeks, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens' starting right tackle in Week 4 and never looked back, starting 16 games (including the playoffs). Among offensive tackles who played at least 50% of the snaps, Rosengarten ranked No. 39 at his position, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He was credited with four sacks allowed in 488 pass-blocking snaps. WR LaJohntay Wester: 23 Wester is another of the Colorado speedsters. In his lone season at Colorado after transferring from Florida Atlantic, the smooth and dynamic receiver recorded 74 receptions for 934 yards and 10 touchdowns. His punt return touchdown against Utah further showcased his versatility and playmaking ability. WR Zay Flowers: 24 A 2024 Pro Bowler, Flowers logged his 100th-career reception in his 21st-career game, becoming the fastest player in Ravens history (21 games) to reach the mark. DB Kyle Hamilton: 24 A second-team All-Pro last season, Hamilton started all 17 games for Baltimore in 2024, totaling a career-high 107 tackles (77 solo), two sacks, 4 TFL, 1 INT, 9 PD, 2 FFs, and 1 FR, en route to earning his second-straight Pro Bowl nod…Helped Baltimore's defense rank No. 1 against the run (80.1 ypg), No. 2 in sacks (54), and No. 5 (tied) in yards per play allowed (5.2). Kicker Tyler Loop: 24 Loop went 6-9 on kicks from 50+ yards last season for the Wildcats. LB Trenton Simpson: 24 Simpson was productive over Baltimore's first 11 games, logging 65 tackles (34 solo), but he was a liability in the passing game. Simpson was entirely out of the Ravens' inside-linebacker rotation following the Week 14 bye, and he was limited to special teams during Baltimore's two-game postseason run. Simpson finished the 2024 regular season with 73 tackles (40 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses, and one fumble recovery across 17 games. He'll battle special-teams standout Jacob Hummel and fourth-round pick Teddye Buchanan. WR Devontez Walker: 24 After contributing primarily on special teams as a rookie, Walker has flashed speed and big-play abilities all summer long. WR Rashod Bateman: 25 Last season, Bateman played in all 17 games (14 starts) for Baltimore in 2024, tallying 45 receptions to go along with career highs in receiving yards (756) and receiving TDs (9)…Recorded three receiving TDs of at least 40 yards, tied for the most such scores in a season by a Raven since at least 2000. DT Travis Jones: 25 A breakout candidate, Jones appeared in all 17 games (15 starts) for Baltimore in 2024, posting a career-high 42 tackles (22 solo), 4 TFL, and one sack. Jones helped Baltimore's defense rank No. 1 against the run (80.1 ypg) and No. 2 in both sacks (54) and fourth-down efficiency (42.9%). OL Daniel Faalele: 25 After moving from offensive tackle to offensive guard, Faalele was named a Pro Bowl alternate after surrendering one sack and 30 pressures in 504 pass-blocking opportunities last season. An off-season working out with Ronnie Stanley should allow Faalele to take the next steps as a run blocker. TE Isaiah Likely: 25 Likely saw action in 16 games (nine starts) for Baltimore in 2024, totaling career highs in receptions (42), receiving yards (477), and receiving TDs (6). Likely became the second-fastest Ravens TE (34 games) to reach double-digit receiving scores in a career, behind only Mark Andrews (28 games). OL Tyler Linderbaum: 25 Linderbaum started at center in all 17 games and earned his second-straight Pro Bowl honor for Baltimore in 2024, blocking for an offense that ranked No. 1 in the NFL in yards per game (424.9), yards per play (6.8 – third-best single-season mark in NFL history).

Notable Eagles players who are 25 and under heading into the 2025 NFL season
With the preparation for the second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, we're looking at Philadelphia's notable talent under 25. The Eagles have a loaded roster and one of the NFL's youngest, with the average age under 24 and getting younger, with the franchise in possession of 13 NFL draft picks in 2026. With the preparation for the second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, we're looking at Philadelphia's notable talent under 25. LB Jihaad Campbell: 21 Campbell has been lauded for his pass rush prowess, but his ability at linebacker and his penchant for bringing the ball carrier down are most exciting. Pro Football Focus said Campbell amassed a 5.9% missed tackle rate, totaling 30 coverage stops. DB Cooper DeJean: 22 DeJean logged 51 tackles (38 solo) as a rookie, including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. DeJean's biggest and best moment came in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, when he picked off Patrick Mahomes for a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on his birthday. LB Smael Mondon: 22 Another Swiss army knife, the former Track and field star was a three-year starter at Georgia and played inside linebacker, outside linebacker, and slot CB. Like Campbell, Mondon Jr. is an elite tackler with a 7.8% missed tackle rate at Georgia. DB Andrew Mukuba: 22 C.J. Gardner-Johnson made his name in New Orleans and Philadelphia by displaying elite versatility at all three levels, while Mukuba presents a more hybrid and athletic model. According to Pro Football Focus, Mukuba earned an excellent grade in coverage (89.7). He forced an incompletion on 26.1% of his targets and allowed a 12.1 passer rating last season in coverage. RB Will Shipley: 22 The former Clemson star running back will battle A.J. Dillon for the backup role behind Saquon Barkley. As a rookie, Shipley rushed 30 times for 82 yards (2.7 YPC) across 16 regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also secured all four targets for 35 yards and compiled 173 yards as a kick returner. Shipley, a 2024 fourth-round pick, logged a 77-yard run and a score, the first of his career, on just four carries versus Washington in the NFC Championship Game. LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr.: 22 As a rookie in 2024, Trotter recorded 25 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense while appearing in all 17 regular-season games. He added five stops (four solo) across four postseason games. WR Darius Cooper: 23 A player to watch, the St. Louis, Missouri native joins the Eagles from Tarleton State, where he earned first-team Associated Press FCS All-America honors in his senior season. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound receiver is athletic and finished second in Division I in receiving yards with 1,450 (the second most in single-season school history) and sixth in touchdowns with 14 (the third most in single-season school history) in 2024. In 48 career games, Cooper accumulated 164 catches for 3,185 yards and 29 touchdowns, averaging 19.4 yards per catch. OL Myles Hinton: 23 Hinton is the son of a former NFL star. His father, Chris, was a seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman after the Denver Broncos drafted him in the top five of the 1983 NFL Draft. During his time at Stanford, Hinton would play 22 games with 16 starts in three seasons with the Cardinal before entering the transfer portal and landing with the Michigan Wolverines. He was a partial starter after opening the 2023 season in the lineup for the National Championship run in 2023 before returning for 2024 and logging 10 starts. DB Mac McWilliams: 23 McWilliams is 5'10" and 181 pounds and compensates for his lack of elite size with quick footwork, aggressiveness, and clever play in coverage. McWilliams' versatility and athleticism give him the potential to contribute as a backup cornerback and special-teams standout. DT Moro Ojomo: 23 Ojomo returns to his home country just weeks after the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs, which secured their second-ever championship title. Ojomo significantly contributed to the Eagles' victory, logging a sack. Philadelphia didn't land Walter Nolen and waited until Round 4 to land Ty Brown out of Nebraska. Even with the pick, Ojomo still maintains his role as a pass-rushing defensive tackle, who can play on the edge in specific situations, and potentially replace Milton Williams's pass-rush prowess. OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr.: 23 The Hokies' pass rusher was named a 2nd team All-American last season after logging 16 sacks and ranked second in the ACC with 19 tackles for a loss. RB ShunDerrick Powell: 23 Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout. CB Eli Ricks: 23 The former Alabama cornerback is solid and looking to maintain a roster spot in year three. CB Kelee Ringo: 23 The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Ringo is losing his competition with Adoree Jackson. DT Jalen Carter: 24 After finishing with 4.5 sacks and a team-high 45 pressures, Carter was named second-team All-Pro in just his second season in the NFL. At 23 years old, he also became the youngest defensive tackle to make the Pro Bowl in franchise history. DT Gabe Hall: 24 A rugged and versatile player at Baylor, a rookie free agent out of Baylor last season (6-6, 295 pounds), was on the practice squad for the entire season. He'll need a decisive training camp, but he can rush the passer and bring athleticism to the defensive tackle position. OLB Jalyx Hunt: 24 Hunt, who offers elite athleticism, is likely to replace Graham. Viewed as a developmental prospect with a high ceiling, the Eagles selected him out of Houston Christian in the third round. During the first 10 games of his rookie season, Hunt played 42 snaps. Down the stretch with Bryce Huff on injured reserve, Hunt played under 30 snaps per game, logging 31 tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles during the final seven regular-season games and the playoffs run. CB Quinyon Mitchell: 24 According to PFF, Mitchell was one of just three qualified cornerbacks, along with DeJean and Christian Benford, to post at least a 75.0 in both categories last season. Mitchell ranked 3rd among NFL CBs with 16 forced incompletions, trailing only Zyon McCollum (17) and Denzel Ward (17). He was 3rd among CBs in yards allowed per coverage snap (0.8) behind Pat Surtain (0.6) and Derek Stingley (0.7) (min. 600 coverage snaps). DT Ty Robinson: 24 In 2023, Robinson was an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 Conference after playing in all 12 games with 11 starts (29 tackles, 4 TFLs with one sack, 6 PBUs). In 2024, during his final season with the Huskers, Robinson was named Third-team All-Big Ten Conference after starting all 13 games (37 tackles, 12.5 TFLs with seven sacks, 4 PBUs, FF). OLB Nolan Smith: 24 Out of 72 edge rushers who played at least 500 snaps last year, Smith's 74.0 Pro Football Focus run defense grade ranked 13th. The dynamic pass rusher is a star in the making. WR Johnny Wilson: 24 Wilson, whom the Eagles selected in the sixth round of last year's NFL Draft, made 16 regular-season appearances during his rookie season in Philadelphia. Wilson finished with five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. He played on more than 50 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps just three times last season, and will look to carve out a role in 2025. DB Sydney Brown: 25 The hard-hitting safety currently has the edge in the safety competition with rookie Andrew Mukuba. DT Jordan Davis: 25 The former Georgia All-American had his fifth-year option exercised, and he'll look to dominate in year four. WR Jahan Dotson: 25 Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. OL Cam Jurgens: 25 Jurgens is a Pro Bowl center and Jason Kelce's hand-picked successor. QB Tanner McKee: 25 The third-year quarterback led the Eagles to a 34-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, going 20-of-25 for 252 yards and three total touchdowns. OL Tyler Steen: 25 The third-year right guard is finally hitting his stride and will earn a starting role for 2025.
