Eric Kendricks was an All-American Linebacker at UCLA. He was one of the best Bruin Linebackers in the last 30 years, and even won the prestigious Butkus Award, honoring the NATION’S BEST Linebacker. But some people felt his prowess in the college game would not translate well to the Pro’s. He might not be big and strong enough to be effective at the next level. Well, Kendricks is now in his second year with the Minnesota Vikings, and he has already shut up all the doubters.
On Sunday, as the Vikings were battling the Tennessee Titans, Kendricks had 6 Tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss, and athletically snagged a pass from former Oregon Duck Heisman-winning Quarterback Marcus Mariota, and ran it back 77 yards for a Touchdown.
