FULL INTERVIEW with Cardinals RB Corey Kiner

From Practice Squad to Opportunity: Corey Kiner’s NFL MindsetCorey Kiner coming on the show reminded me why the undrafted path in the NFL is different. No hype, no guarantees, just opportunity and response. From learning under Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco and seeing firsthand what true three-down versatility looks like, to bouncing from Minnesota to Arizona on a few hours’ notice, Kiner’s journey is about mindset more than talent. He talked about modeling parts of his game after elite backs like Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Walker, and Jahmyr Gibbs, but what stood out most was his fear of staying the same. Not fear of headlines. Not fear of critics. Fear of not improving. That’s the separator. Being on scout team, learning multiple playbooks, flying across the country midseason — and still treating every rep like you’re RB1 — that’s how you carve out a role. This isn’t a Cinderella story. It’s a blueprint. If he keeps stacking days the way he described, Arizona didn’t just get depth — they may have found a back who forces his way into real opportunity.Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:48 - Elite RB's and paying RB's6:26 - Evolving RB position 8:25 - Shanahan is a GURU10:25 - Life as an UDFA19:38 - Welcome to the NFL moment📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#CoreyKiner #ArizonaCardinals #NFL #Undrafted #RunningBack #TheJVShow
