TAMPA, Fla. - For Tampa Bay Buccaneers free agent Cameron Kinley, his dream of playing professional football was cut short, or at least put on hold.
Kinley was excited to pursue his career not only with the NFL but also with the U.S. Navy. However, those dreams of being a professional football player will have to wait after Kinley’s request to have his commission delayed was denied by the Navy.
Kinley graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy two weeks ago. He was president of his graduating class and the first athlete to have that title since 1991. Being in the Navy and serving his country is a dream that Kinley has had for a long time. But his graduation day was preceded by news that dreams of an NFL career would have to be shelved while he served his five-year service commitment.
