What Happened to Former NFL Star Kevin Kolb?

Kevin Kolb, the former NFL baffling debut and "what could have been" wonder of the sport. Well, let's get to the point and understand what has happened with him.

Start Today for College Success Early in Career

Kevin Benjamin Kolb was born on August 24, 1984 in Victoria, Texas. He played at Stephenville High School in Texas, where he was a three-year starter on offense and then moved on to the University of Houston. In 2006, he earned C-USA Offensive MVP accolades for his performance at Houston.

Philadelphia Eagles Career

Kolb was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2007 NFL Draft with a second-round pick, number thirty-six overall. He saw early in his career as the No. 2 behind Donovan McNabb, But Kolb had his moment to show out in the 2009 NFL season while McNabb was recovering from a knee injury. His career skyrocketed from here, earning the title of being the first NFL QB to pass for over 300 yards in each of his two career starts. His tenure with the Philadelpia Eagles brought out a lot of talent and promise from him, but he also suffered adversities.

Why the Arizona Cardinals?

After winning the job in a quarterback competition during training camp following McNabb's trade to the Washington Redskins that April, Kolb began his tenure as starter for Philadelphia. After sustaining a concussion in Week 1, he was displaced by Michale Vick. Kolb was traded shortly after that to the Arizona Cardinals before the 2011 season began. He signed a new five-year contract with the Cardinals in a $63.5 million deal. Although Kolb showed a lot of improvements, he also had injury setbacks.

Struggles and Injuries

Kolb battled injuries and concussion-related symptoms while with the Cardinals, causing him to miss games. He was slowed by injuries, slowing his quest to become a regular starter.

Professional Retirement

On March 15, 2013 Kolb was released by the Cardinals; effectively ending his professional football career. That ended his time in the NFL, a journey where he experienced success and injuries.

Legacy and Post-Football Life

While his career did not turn out as expected, all signs suggest Kolb was a talented and valuable player for the teams he played with. He has gone up and into new projects outside of football since retirement.

Kevin Kolb's full NFL career ends with questions and promises, defining a largely disappointing spell in professional football. His trek is the epitome of the unpredictable world that football always turns out to be.
