DWinzit Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I guess others saw Barsdale promise: Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Monday that the club claimed two players on waivers on Sunday. The Chiefs claimed CB Rashad Barksdale on waivers from Philadelphia and QB Tyler Thigpen from Minnesota. As per NFL rules, those players will play under terms of their previous contracts. Barksdale (5-11, 208) originally entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick (201st overall) of Philadelphia in 2007. He began his collegiate career at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York before transferring to Albany as a junior baseball player. He joined the Great Danes football team as a running back before shifting to safety. He opened 10 games as a senior at Albany, recording 37 tackles and three INTs to earn Mid-Major All-America honors from Football Gazette. The Hudson, New York native was an all-state performer in both baseball and football at Hudson High School. http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2007/09/03/kansas_city_claims_cb_rashad_barksdale__qb_tyler_thigpen_on_waivers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
