Professional career
Oakland Raiders
Kilgore was signed by the Oakland Raiders on July 29, 2012 after going undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. He was released by the Raiders on August 31, 2012.[3][4][5]
Sacramento Mountain Lions
Kilgore spent the 2012 season with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. The 2012 season was halted early due to league financial difficulties, and Kilgore said it was obvious that there were money problems with the league. He said that the "whole demeanor of the team was, 'This is a joke.'"[6]
Kansas City Chiefs
Kilgore signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in December 2012.[7] He was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs on March 27, 2013. He approached Saskatchewan leadership about getting out of his contract. Kilgore said they "were extremely cool about it" and indicated that the Roughriders would like to have him rejoin the team if he did not succeed in the NFL.[8]
He was released by the Chiefs on August 14, 2013.[3] Upon his release, Kilgore was described as a longshot to make the roster. He was waived in order to clear roster space for cornerback Kennard Cox.[9]
