Wow, wasnt Kennedy ruled to be too heavy to play in the NFL and that was part of why he couldnt find a job not being able to make weight for a physical? Hows he going to fair with all that size in the AFL

My understanding (very limited) is that the AFL is faster and less run heavy. Not really sure how Kennedy will translate, but its clear his using the AFL has a springboard to the NFL again. He also may have thinned up a bit to get into the league with the hopes other NFL teams have recognized his new willingness to train But i don't know
