Undrafted free agent running back tweets highlights to Chiefs, gets signed

John Rieger / USA TODAY Sports

Who says Twitter is a worthless wasteland of bad jokes, pictures of what people are eating for breakfast, and the occasional breaking news tidbit from Adam Schefter?

LaVance Taylor, an undrafted free-agent running back out of Division II Central Missouri, tweeted a YouTube video of his highlights to the Kansas City Chiefs (among several other teams) on Wednesday and the very next day the Chiefs announced they were signing one LaVance Taylor.

Sure, Taylor is an extreme long shot to make the team, but he already has a story that will last a lifetime.

And if this pro football thing doesn't work out, Taylor probably has a career ahead of him in social media promotions.
