Coach Kevin Porter's NFL Days...

Before he was at the helm of the Arena Football League's Kansas City Brigade, Kevin Porter was playing football in the NFL.

He was a fixture in the KC Chiefs secondary for six seasons, playing both at cornerback and safety during his years with Big Red.

Porter only managed one interception during his NFL career and shared in only one and a half sacks, but he was talented enough to play in the majority of the team's games in most of the years he was part of the Chiefs roster.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you. As a rookie, Coach Porter returned one kickoff. It was the only time in his career he claimed the mantle of return man. He gained sixteen yards on the return.

Porter's NFL career could undoubtedly be characterized as successful, but it's very possible that his greatest football success still awaits him as the Brigade prepares for AFL post-season action. He could add a championship to his resume this season!

I found Porter's numbers here.
