Cornerback Derion Kendrick seems like he made a really smart decision. Recruited by Dabo Sweeney to play in his home state of South Carolina, after three seasons he sought better for himself and transferred to Georgia to be a part of Kirby Smart’s team. It paid off as Kendrick was a member of the CFB national champions this past season, and he played an integral role.
Fans of the Dallas Cowboys can stop if they’ve heard this before. Kendrick was recruited out of high school as a wide receiver, but made a transition to cornerback once he got to college. He was an emergency sub during spring practice of 2019 and ended up staying there. Two seasons later he transferred and was a starting corner in the biggest game on the biggest stage. So what does his film look like at this early stage of his development with the NFL waiting for him?
