Allan promoted off Chiefs' practice squad Former Whitworth tight end Michael Allan was promoted off the practice squad and signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Allan, who was a seventh-round draft pick of the franchise, was the first Division III player drafted by the NFL since Ryan Hoag was taken with the final pick of the 2003 draft. If he plays, he could be the fourth Division III alumnus to make his NFL debut this season, following UW-Whitewater's Derek Stanley, who returned six kicks for the St. Louis Rams this past weekend; Coe's Fred Jackson, running back and return man for the Buffalo Bills; and Ohio Northern's Jason Trusnik, who plays special teams for the New York Jets. |
