Grading System
EDWARD KENDRICK
Position: DT
Class: Sr
School: Tennessee
Conference: SEC
Ht., Wt.: 6'4, 265
40 Time:
Grade: 3.11

BIO: Started only a single game as a senior, totaling 22 tackles with one 1/2 tackles for loss. Sat out the 2001 campaign after playing every contest with the first unit as a red-shirt sophomore and totaling 15 tackles.

POSITIVES: Explosive interior lineman who's yet to develop into a complete defender. Breaks down well, plays with leverage and quick off the snap. Powerful, gets push up the field and rarely off his feet. Moves well laterally and pursues the action with speed.

NEGATIVES: Lacks size, engulfed by opponents or stymied at the point by a single blocker.

ANALYSIS: Flashed skill in 2000 when he started ahead of Albert Haynesworth but seemed to struggle trying to regain his form last season. Offers the underlying skills to be productive but must get his game back together.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
