Kam Kinchens, once dubbed “Slow-Jo” by his high school coach, is headed to the NFL.
The Los Angeles picked the All-American Hurricanes safety with the 99th pick in the third round of the NFL draft on Saturday. Kinchens is the first Hurricane to be picked in this year’s draft.
Kinchens, a former star at Miami Northwestern High, is the 41st player from the high school powerhouse to reach the NFL. The last Northwestern player to be picked in the draft was defensive lineman Caljah Kancey, who went in last year’s draft.
