Bruiser Kinard played offensive tackle for the Ole Miss Rebels from 1935 to 1937 and received First Team All-American honors in both the 1936 and 1937 seasons. The honors in 1936 were the first ever received by a college player in Mississippi at any school. Kinard would be drafted in the 3rd round of the 1938 NFL Draft by the Brooklyn Dodgers where he played for 7 seasons garnering Pro Bowl honors in six of those seasons.

After a year spent in the US Navy during 1945 Kinard returned to the professional level with the New York Yankees of the All-America Football Conference from 1946 to 1947. After a brief stint as an assistant coach for the Yankees Kinard joined coach Johnny Vaught’s staff in 1948 where he would be offensive line coach until 1970.
