Kansas City Chiefs rookies have officially arrived at training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
One particular rookie arrived sporting new hair stylings. Chiefs fifth-round draft pick Darian Kinnard previously had blue hair, representing his college at the University of Kentucky. Now, Kinnard has a new color in his hair to represent his NFL team. Yes, he dyed his hair Chiefs red.
Our friend Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride spotted the new hairstyling at training camp and snapped a photo.

Kinnard was asked about his hair at rookie minicamp and said that a change was coming eventually. At the time he was focused more on getting the playbook down than what his hair looked like.
“Oh, yeah, I was going to,” Kinnard told reporters at rookie minicamp. “That’s the gameplan. Right now, I’m just getting through minicamp. My biggest focus is just getting better at my position. (My hair) will turn red eventually. Just know that.”
It seems he had some time to dye his hair and make good on that promise as he heads into his first NFL training camp.
