St. Louis Rams Sign Kennedy Tinsley

Posted Apr 27, 2010
After being overlooked in the NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams are hoping they've found a steal. The Rams signed the former North Carolina special-teams standout and reserve linebacker to a free-agent contract and want to move him back to fullback. "I only started one game my whole career at Carolina. A lot of guys don't get this opportunity," Tinsley said. "I just found my way to shine. Whatever I was given, I did the best I could."
