Albion's Kinder gets drafted by Chicago

By Brian Hillabush

Albion grad Derek Kinder was just selected with the 251st overall selection in the seventh round by the Chicago Bears.

Kinder was a standout running back for the Purple Eagles and was switched to wide receiver at the University of Pittsburgh. He tore his ACL during his senior year and received an injury red shirt.

He bounced back this season to catch 36 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns.

It was reported that Kinder had worked out for Chicago and Cincinnati in the weeks prior to the NFL Draft.

Chris Lauzze. He was not drafted and might get a shot to work out with some teams, but he's a center for UB so he'll have a tough time.

I'm doing well, just in the crunch now with the semester winding down. I hope to make it to some games this summer for sure! But I think I will be in Boston so it might be tough. I'll keep you posted!
