Linebacker Jasper Brinkley saw Devon Kennard and was immediately reminded of Antoine Winfield. It wasn’t his play or his attitude or his skill set, though. Winfield was a Pro Bowl cornerback for the Vikings and Kennard is a third-year linebacker for the Giants. It was Kennard’s colors that sparked the comparison.
Kennard’s notebooks in training camp are filled with a rainbow of highlights that help certain topics stand out as he jots them down. The third-year Giants linebacker uses orange, green and yellow to categorize his notes in the meeting room, which is a unique approach and something that has impressed Kennard.
