Arizona Rattlers Sign Offensive Lineman Joey Lombard
The Arizona Rattlers have added offensive lineman Joey Lombard to their roster, as confirmed by a recent announcement. Lombard, a 6‑foot‑5, 305‑pound lineman from Anoka, Minnesota, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs in June 2025, appeared in three preseason games, and was released in August. He spent time on the Hamilton Tiger‑Cats practice squad before being released in September 2025. In college at South Dakota (2019‑24), Lombard started 48 of 51 games, served as Alternate Team Captain in 2024, and earned multiple All‑MVFC and All‑American honors. The signing represents a strategic reinforcement of the Rattlers’ offensive front ahead of upcoming competition.
