There are surprise standouts in training camp every year, whether it’s an undrafted rookie, an overlooked free-agent signing or a late-round pick. This summer, it seems like Derion Kendrick’s turn to make a great first impression.
Through four days of practice, the rookie cornerback has caught the eye of those around him, from media members in attendance to his teammates and coaches. He had a particularly good day on Wednesday, breaking up two passes intended for Allen Robinson in the end zone.
The first one apparently had the entire defense fired up, celebrating the great defensive play made by the sixth-round rookie.
