Chiefs acquired a LB from Cinci

I was just checking the free agency moves by the Chiefs, and didn't see a thread here for this guy. Looks like the Chiefs picked up a player named COREY MAYS from Cincinnati.

Anyone know anything about this guy?

Originally signed by the Patriots out of South Bend, then picked up as FA by the Bengals. Very little LB playing time at either place. Another special teams player with Patroit ties.

Thanks Chris! When I was first watching the Chiefs, he was just drafted, and I really got to liking him the more I watched the team. Got an autograph from him a long time ago that somehow got lost in several moves over the years. :(

I still remember watching his big TD fumble return in the pro bowl that one year- cool!


But on this Mays guy, I was checking, and he's pretty darn underwhelming.
