Darian Kinnard, Guard

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Darian Kinnard embodies the spirit of the NFL's Salute to Service campaign — honoring, empowering, and connecting service members, veterans, and their families. His deep respect for those who serve our country is reflected in his ongoing commitment to veteran-focused organizations.

During his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kinnard proudly supported the Wounded Warrior Project through the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative. Not only did he raise awareness and funds for the organization, but he also took the extra step of personally meeting with veterans, offering them a behind-the-scenes stadium tour as he unveiled his custom cleats.

Now with the Green Bay Packers, Kinnard is expanding his efforts to further strengthen his support for the military community. As part of this year's Salute to Service campaign, he will serve as the team's official spokesperson — participating in a press conference and engaging in several events designed to honor and uplift those who have served.
