Draft Profile: Bio
Drew Kendall from Noble And Greenough High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Kendall opted to join Boston College.In 2021 as a freshman Kendall saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 14 snaps for the Eagles. He allowed no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.
As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 11 games and a total of 733 snaps. He conceded 12 QB hurries, 3 QB hits, and 3 sacks while playing at center.
In 2023 as a junior Kendall saw action in 12 games and totaled 867 snaps. He gave up 10 QB hurries, one QB hit, and one sack while playing at center.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Outstanding in the screen game, both because of his instincts to deceive defenders and mobility to get out in front and land blocks.
- Quick-footed with smooth movement skills to cover a large area. Rangy with above average lateral ability. Bursts off the snap and sets up quickly with little wasted motion.
- Fundamentally sound and understands blocking angles, using body positioning to his advantage. Disciplined awareness and good intelligence.
- Hand placement is excellent, and Kendall shows a good understanding of angles when climbing upfield
- Kendall will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where he could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
- Understands angles and plays with good leverage. Kendall has long arms and heavy hands, using them effectively in pass protection, and he has a strong enough initial punch to get an edge on quick sets.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Limits ability to mirror by leaning forward with his upper body and neglecting his lower body. Not strong enough and remains rough around the edges.
- More of a waist bender with subpar feet, and Kendall too often ends up reaching and lunging when going against quickness.
- Stronger pass rushers can get under his pads and steer him aside.
