Who is Kiran Amegadjie?
“I grew up a Bears fan, watching Devin Hester,” he said after being drafted, according to Kevin Fishbain. “… this is everything I’ve wanted since I was a little kid. I can’t even put this into words. This is amazing.”
Amegadjie is an Illinois native, as he grew up in Hinsdale and attended Hinsdale Central High School. He’s also an avid Bears fan — a fandom he displayed on social media as far as three years back.
Amegadjie is a 6-foot-5 tackle weighing 323 pounds. He also has a strong reach, measuring 36 1/8-inch arms (92 percentile) at the NFL Scouting Combine.
He played three years at Yale. He played right guard his freshman year before moving to left tackle his sophomore season. That season, he played 10 games as the team’s starter on the left side. He played just four games his junior season due to injury.
