OUTSIDE LINEBACKER
Strengths
He played Defensive End in college but for his best long term success his size and skill sets dictate a position change to Outside Linebacker at the next level.
His position change would not only benefit him but provide versatility to whatever team brings him in. On known passing downs he could either line up in a three point stance (as he did in college) as a Defensive End, or standing up as an edge rushing Outside Linebacker.
At Defensive End he would be a liability against the run no matter how determined at his current weight giving up more than 50lbs plus on any given snap. At such a weight disadvantage the athletic gifts he brings to the field would be diminished. Moving him further away from the line of scrimmage at Outside Linebacker gives him an opportunity to better utilize his package of skills.
He possesses ideal size and measurables projecting him to Outside Linebacker for the next level. He displays the mental and snap to whistle determination on an every down basis to match his athletic talents.
He displays the fluidity in the hips to both be effective dropping back in pass coverage, or to do what he does best, getting after the quarterback off the edge.
He consistently displays the quick twitch explosion, and explosive first step needed to make him an elite pass rusher looking into the not so distant future.
His speed easily projects him consistently running down plays from the backside, and making tackles for loss behind opposing teams lines of scrimmage. He also shows good determination running down plays sideline to sideline.
When he arrives to the ball he does so in an aggressive attacking style. Looking to initiate first contact to opponents. Forcing opponents to play on their heels and staying aware of his presence on an every down basis.
He is a player with a big upside and ceiling to his game. When he is given the freedom to play in space at Outside Linebacker he will be able to let his instincts and athleticism take over.
Weaknesses
Unknown track record at new position of Outside Linebacker
Questionable low production throughout collegiate career
Improved conditioning (tighter overall body frame)
Projected Round
Undrafted Free Agent
My Value Board
Undrafted Free Agent
Summary
Kenyon has the chance to be a more productive NFL player than collegiate. During his collegiate career his natural skills were never placed in the best position for success (Outside Linebacker). So his development as a player was never really was tapped into. Some lucky NFL team will reap the benefits!
