Eddie Kennison is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on January 20, 1973 in Lake Charles, United States. Drafted in the first round by the St. Louis Rams in 1996, he played wide receiver for several other teams including the Saints, Bears, and Broncos.
He played alongside former star running back Priest Holmes as a member of the Chiefs.
Kennison was a noted sprinter in college, where he was a six-time All-America selection. He led the LSU Tigers track and field 4×100-meter relay team to the 1994 NCAA Outdoor Championship, and also qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 4×100, 4×200, 4×400 and the 200 meters during his time at LSU.
Kennison was selected 18th overall by the St. Louis Rams in the 1996 NFL Draft, a draft which was remarkably deep in wide receivers. On July 30, 1996, Kennison signed a four-year, $6 million deal with a $2 million signing bonus. His first season with the Rams was excellent, as he finished second to Terry Glenn in yards and receptions for rookies, and led the rookie wide receiver class in touchdowns. It was noted regularly at the time that Kennison and Glenn had outproduced number one overall pick Keyshawn Johnson. He also was selected as an alternate to the Pro Bowl. His 1997 and 1998 seasons with the Rams were far less productive, as he battled nagging injuries in a lackluster Rams offense.
He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana and spent his entire childhood and early adulthood in the state.

He earned a starting role out of training camp, but after eight unproductive games, Kennison requested to be released from the team only a few hours before a game in which he was scheduled to start. He stated at the time he had “lost his love for the game”, and as a result Kennison retired and was released on November 15, 2001.
