Barry Richardson and Kevin Robinson were both selected in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Barry Richardson spent four seasons in Kansas City before eventually playing for St. Louis and Detroit. He’s currently a free agent.

Kevin Robinson didn’t have a great NFL career. He spent one season in the league and recorded 11 catches for 94 yards. While not having a long career in Kansas City (or in the NFL), Robinson joined the Canadian Football League. He has played wide receiver for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats since 2009.

Brian Johnston became a Chief in the seventh round of the draft. He played one season in Kansas City and then was signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad in 2010. Johnston is currently a free agent.

Mike Merritt was the Chiefs’ last selection in 2008 and he didn’t do anything in Kansas City. He didn’t take the field at all during his only year in the pros and was let go during the offseason.
