Kenny, a former wide receiver for the Gibbs High Eagles in East Tennessee, is also headlining a show at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Amphitheater on Aug. 16, so the scheduling worked out perfectly. “They wanna see if I can make some kind of contribution,” Kenny laughs. “They realized they were gonna be up there when I was playing Cincinnati, and they wanted to make it work.” Kenny adds, “I first met [Saints head coach] Sean Payton when he was the assistant coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Over the years, we’ve become really good friends because there’s a very mutual respect for what the other does.” Kenny admits that he was “probably the slowest receiver in the history of the [Gibbs High] team—and it was a mediocre team.”
