McClinton to try out with Chiefs

Former Kansas University defensive tackle James McClinton will attend the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie minicamp this weekend on a tryout basis, according to his agent Kevin Robinson.

McClinton is hoping to show off his skills and possibly land a free-agent deal soon after.

“He’s pretty excited,” Robinson said. “He’s looking forward to it.”

The Jayhawks had four players selected in the NFL Draft this weekend. A fifth, fullback Brandon McAnderson, agreed to a free-agent deal with the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
