Player Analysis

Eric Kendricks has been considered one of the top linebackers in the 2015 NFL Draft class throughout the evaluation process. He made his presence known during his four seasons as a Bruin as an excellent run stopper but he was also useful in coverage for previous defensive coordinators Lou Spanos and Jeff Ulbrich.

Mock drafts have Kendricks tabbed anywhere from a mid-first round selection to an early second round pick, (including DraftTek.com at #19) and wherever he is taken come April 30th on, he should be able to make a long, productive career for himself at the next level.
