03/07/2012 - Cardinal Mooney grad and current Kent State University football player Ishmaa'ily Kitchen showed off his skills in front of five NFL scouts on Wednesday morning. It was all part of Kent State's Pro Day. The Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and the Miami Dolphins were all on hand to evaluate Kent State's talent. Kitchen completed six stations, involving the 225 lb bench press, vertical jump, lateral jump, shuttle run, 40-yard dash, and the three cone drill. The 334 pound, 6'3" nose tackle trained for two months preparing for the Pro Day. "We trained six days out of the week, six hours a day," says Kitchen. "So, it's pretty good, it got me in good condition." Playing in the NFL is something Kitchen has always dreamed of, since his days playing little league football for the Youngstown Braves. "I always dreamed about it when I was a little kid, so it's just huge, I always dreamed about it." - WYTV ABC33 News
