Kendall in some ways reminds me of Filer. I sat at the computer all that year scratching my head in confusion as board posters continued to boost Filer's stock and couldn't figure out why. His fantastic athleticism seemed to blind everyone to the fact that he couldn't really figure out the game.
In this way, Kendall must be somewhat the same guy. Kelly has praised his special teams and scout squad work, so he has nothing against him. Kendall seems to be a good guy also. He has been given some shots, particularly in Springs to make some waves, but in the end, as Whiskey just posted, BOTH Carlo and Dan beat him out even when they were obviously still very flawed themselves. The occasional big hit or nice-looking play doesn't cut it if your overall "grade" for the day [think "incorrect fits"] is punk.
I ALWAYS root for our guys to suddenly explode into their potentials, win games, make All-Star teams, and big bucks in the NFL. I've seen nothing to suggest that Kendall can do that, but I'm hoping that he does.
