KANSAS CITY AGREES TO TERMS WITH TE KENDALL GAMMON
Mar 17, 2006, 3:00:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Friday that the club has agreed to terms of a one-year contract with TE Kendall Gammon. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement was made available.
Gammon (6-4, 255) was selected to his first Pro Bowl following the 2004 season as the AFC’s long snapper. He appeared in 218 consecutive games to begin his 14-year career before missing the final six games of the 2005 season with a lower left leg injury. The accomplished long snapper has appeared in 90 games over six seasons with the Chiefs after spending four seasons in both Pittsburgh (’92-95) and New Orleans (’96-99). Gammon, who has seen duty in eight postseason games including Super Bowl XXX while with Pittsburgh, has also recorded a total of 36 special teams tackles in his career.
Since joining the Chiefs in 2000, Gammon has become one of the club’s most active members in the Kansas City community. Serving as the Spokesperson for the Kansas City Free Health Clinic, he has helped promote wellness and quality health services for low-income, uninsured or under-insured individuals who do not have access to health care. Gammon has also been an active participant in the Chiefs “Read Across America” initiative, which promotes literacy among Kansas City youth. Gammon is also the owner of Paradise Nursery, a 42-acre garden center in Kansas City.
A product of Pittsburg State, Gammon started 41 games for the Gorillas at both tackle and guard. A three-time All-Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association selection, the Rose Hill, Kansas native helped Pittsburg State to the ‘91 NCAA Division II National Championship.
