Bucs CB Cameron Kinley NFL DREAMS Crushed By Navy!
Sorry to say but Rookie cornerback Cameron Kinley dreams to play in the National Football League are OVER since the Navy DENIED his request to delay his U.S. Navy commission to play.
CelebnSports247.com reports that Kinley is being required by the Navy to commission as an ensign and is not permitted to appeal the decision.
See, Cameron Kinley, a team captain in the Navy and class president, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Buccaneers and participated in the team’s rookie minicamp, with the Navy’s permission.
In a statement released Monday, Kinley said:
I spent the past week processing my emotions, as it is very difficult to have been this close to achieving a childhood dream and having it taken away from me. He hopes that this situation will soon be overturned and that I can get back to competing on the field and representing the U.S. Navy.
Divine Sports and Entertainment co-founder Ryan Williams-Jenkins said in the statement.
Williams-Jenkins said:
As a Naval Academy graduate, football player, and decorated combat veteran I understand Cameron’s commitment. I also understand there are ways he can fulfill his commitment while representing the Navy and playing professional sports. I played with three-time Super Bowl Champion Joe Cardona, who still serves our country as a Navy reservist. If there is a directive and precedent allowing other service academy athletes to pursue this opportunity, what makes Cameron different? It is important to note that this could have a long-term impact on his mental health going forward. He wants to fulfill both of his childhood dreams, playing in the NFL and honorably serving his country.
After the Navy’s decision, Kinley would go on to write a letter last week to Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, for her help in approaching the Navy to change its decision.
