Undrafted RB Tweets Highlight Vid to Chiefs, Team Signs Him the Next Day

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. LaVance Taylor, an undrafted running back from the Central Missouri Mules (D-II), knows this.

Taylor squeaked a 12-minute highlight reel of himself to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday.

On Friday, he had himself a deal:

Kansas City needed extra depth in the backfield after "Keshawn Hill—the only running back in attendance during the early portion of camp—went down with a hamstring injury," per Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star.

Taylor taught us all a valuable lesson: It can't hurt to ask.

Good for him.

Update from Sunday, Aug. 2 at 5:50 p.m. ET

Unfortunately for Taylor, his stint with the Chiefs didn't last very long.
