Scouting Report: Strengths
- Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch. Possesses straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
- Kennedy has value as an inside blitzer as well, showing the initial burst to shoot through gaps and disrupt the backfield.
- Shows a burst to close. Flashes explosive hitting ability and good lateral and downfield pursuit.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- He’s a natural in coverage, with the movement skills of a defensive back in man coverage against tight ends.
- Kennedy has good quickness and an excellent understanding of angles, often beating blockers to the spot.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Kennedy is on the small side and struggles to slip blocks; he’ll need to be covered up in order to make plays.
- Generally an effective openfield tackler but doesn't wrap up consistently. Shows only average awareness in coverage.
- Locates the ball but takes circuitous routes to go get to it. Should use power and long arms to take on and disengage from blocks. Inefficient with his angles.
