FIFL Experience: Drafted 64th overall
in the 2013 FIFL Draft by the Black Hills Machine. Other QB's
ahead of him in that draft were Shaun King (5th), Rohan Davey
(#38), Khari Jones (#55) and Cleo Lemon (#59). Played sparingly
throughout his time with BlackHills and Chesapeake from 2013-2021. Had his first career start in 2018 when he was 17 of 27 for 271 yards and 2 TD's in a 36-24 loss to Connecticut.
Signed as a Free Agent by Peoria in 2022 in week 4. Week 4 Kannell was 23 of 33 for 199 yards, 2 TD's and a pick in a 23-20 loss to Springfield. Had a season long run for 48 yards and a score in as he ran 4 times for 70 yards. Week 5 was 18 of 27 for 227 yards and a TD in a 34-9 win. In a week 6 start, Kannell was 28 of 48 for 352 yards with 4 TD's and an INT and ran 5 times for 30 yards and a long of 33 yards and named Offensive Player of the Game. Week 13 was 24 of 35 for 239 yards and a TD in a 41-14 loss. Kannell is 2-3 all-time as a starter.
Professional Experience: Kanell was drafted
by the New York Giants in the fourth round (130th overall)
in the 1996 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut later that season.
The next season in New York, Kanell became the starter and
played the last ten games of the 1997 season, leading the
Giants to the NFC Eastern Division title. In those ten games
he threw for 1,740 yards with eleven touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The Giants played in the playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings
but lost 23-22. Kanell went 16/32 with 199 yards and one touchdown
in that game. The following year, Kanell started all ten games
he played in while throwing for 1,603 yards, eleven touchdowns
and ten interceptions. With a record of 3-7 at that point,
the Giants benched Kanell in favor of Kent Graham, who led
the Giants to a 5-1 record down the stretch and an 8-8 finish.
At the end of the season the Giants signed Kerry Collins from
the New Orleans Saints and cut Kanell to make enough salary
cap room to pay Collins' salary. In the off season Kanell
found a home with the Atlanta Falcons as a backup to their
oft injured starting quarterback Chris Chandler. He played
in Atlanta for two years, starting two games and playing in
eight. As a Falcon he completed 99 of 200 attempted passes
for a total of 1,117 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions.
At the end of the 2000 season he was cut by the Falcons and
didn't manage to sign with another team. A year later, Kanell
signed with the New York Dragons of the Arena Football League
for the 2002 season, appearing in four games in Aaron Garcia's
absence. Following that, he was signed during training camp
by the Denver Broncos. He made the roster as the third-string
quarterback in Denver but was let go shortly through the season.
Seven games into the season, starting quarterback Jake Plummer
and backup quarterback Steve Beuerlein suffered with foot
and hand injuries, respectively. Kanell was recalled to the
Broncos and started two games until Beuerlein and Plummer
returned. He threw two touchdowns and five interceptions on
103 pass attempts. Kanell remained with the Broncos for one
more year as the backup to Plummer. He never played, as Plummer
became the first Broncos quarterback in franchise history
to take every offensive snap. After the 2004 season, he was
cut by the Broncos and was not picked up by another NFL team.
College: He attended Florida State University,
where he played quarterback for four years. During his career
at the university he played in 45 games and completed 62.2%
of his 851 pass attempts. He threw for 6,372 yards, 57 touchdowns
(a school record) and 26 interceptions over his four years
as a Seminole. He also ran for one touchdown and managed to
catch one pass for a loss of three yards. In his freshman,
sophomore and senior years he played in the Orange Bowl and
in his junior year he played in the Sugar Bowl. He was given
an "honorable mention" in the All-American list of his senior
year.
Personal: Kanell
is currently employed by ESPN, hosting ESPNU's new show, 'UNITE'
and calling Saturday college football games.
