Kilgore is going into his tenth year in the league after he was drafted 163rd overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the San Fransisco 49ers. He appeared in Super Bowl XLVII with the 49ers but contributed mostly on special teams.

The 32-year-old center was with San Fransisco until the 49ers traded him and their seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, to the Miami Dolphins for a seventh-round pick.

Kilgore played four games in his first season in Miami before landing on the injured list. Last season, he played in 13 games for the Dolphins and missed three games because of a knee injury. Kilgore was a captain of the Dolphins for the 2019 season.

Dolphins declined the option on Kilgore's contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.
