How good is Devon Kennard?

No where near as good as BBI claims he is..

like a very good forward moving type LB but not so good in space.

They say the greatest leep of ability occurs between year 1 and year 2.

I have faith he'll be a solid starter.

.

Who the fuck are you? And why do you know more than BBI?

So far it seems he's a keeper, which is something considering how bad our draft picks at lb have been.

outside of the Dline that was able to properly blitz during the reign of Perry Fewell, IMO.

I think he is a good young LB and I hope he continues to learn and get better.

...good tools. The defining conditions will depend much on how Spags uses him, and if he can remain relatively healthy. I think he's at least solid.

he made some plays, he missed some plays.....he has to come into camp healthy, and stay healthy......all he has to do is be an average linebacker.....that's head and shoulders above what we have been throwing out there with the likes of JW, Herz and Paysinger....

last year. thats as far as ill go to this point. he has a way to go

He played well. And with some pass-rush ability. It has been a long time since the Giants had a LB with a sense of that talent.

With good passrush ability.I think he can become better.he is young and will get better.

...and that's why a once promising Jacquian Williams won't be wearing Blue in 2015.

However, I think we upgraded at DC, so maybe he won't peak as a rookie like Williams did.

Good pass rusher. Sets the edge when asked. For a 5th round pick he flashed a good amount of talent.

But he showed alot of promise as a rook. I would say b/c of his size & football intelligence.. MLB

but a guy that should have no trouble making a 53 man roster and even start a fair number of games for a team with a weak LB corps.

He is not going to turn into a all-pro if that is the purpose of this thread...

think he's better than many on this thread give him credit for...but he has to be used properly. Have him attack the line of scrimmage.

LT and Clint Sintim..

team, then I like my chances...

That Spags ran in his first stint here, he'll be a fan favorite. He has a nose for the QB and times his blitzes, both run and pass well. He will struggle in space, but with his skill set, expect to see him play the role Kiwi and Kawika Mitchell played under Spags, which is to say he'll be huge in spots, then invisible in others. Spags tends to not hang his LBs out to dry as did his idiot predecessor. He will be a 3 down LB though, because on 3rd down my guess is he'll be coming after the QB.

If Fewell was the DC, I'd be worried, but we have a DC who actually thinks about each opponent and deploys a plan.

that actually and some impact right away on defense

Got a lot of praise after his rookie year and then we got jack shit. I'll wait and see how Kennard looks in his second season before I proclaim him the next Jesus

The big question is where is his best position inside or outside he looks like a beast at MLB, that could be a good outside LB this team is desperate at both positions.

anyway...hes a good linebacker something we havent seen from a rookie linebacker since probably armstead.

Hes a good blitzer which he has shown. He has power and a strong base. Doesnt get pushed back in the run game and can hold his own. Always around the football and theres a reason we as fans all noticed him once he hit the field. The guy makes plays and ins around the ball and a very good tackler.
