Selected with the 229th pick in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Kent played at Central Michigan for five seasons as both a return specialist and cornerback, playing in 53 games — setting his school record with 47 pass breakups.
An electric returner and a solid depth option for Pittsburgh, Kent will hopefully recover in time to compete for a roster spot this offseason, but the severity of his injury remains to be seen.
