As a receiver he made only 2 receptions for 10 yards.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and Kiner shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
- He’s on the small side but solidly built, thick through the lower body. He’s light on his feet with good vision, and he shows creativity as a runner, finding cut-back lanes.
- A downhill runner who picks up momentum as he goes and does a nice job absorbing contact between the tackles - physical with good pad level.
- He’s not a burner, and he is more of a block-what’s-given runner than a guy who is going to create.
- Kiner finishes runs well and flashes the ability to get small and squeeze through traffic.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Kiner really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
- He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which Kiner ran a limited route tree.
- Not overly explosive, lacks a special burst. Minimal open-field moves and lacks great vertical speed. Tends to dance too much and indecisive at the line of scrimmage.
