He was a bit of a gunslinger with too many INTs, but he had to be with that defense. He had a string of injuries that diminished his careers numbers, but surely would have been remembered as more of a winner had Joe Delaney not tragically drowned. Delaney may have brought down his stats, but they would have won more games...the RBs selected after JD were utterly without pro ability.

My father always said Kinney’s numbers were inflated with garbage yards playing catch up while the other team played the clock with a lead. He thought he was meh.
Undoubtedly regardless he never had adequate help.
