2024 Projections
Sees usage increase in second year
Kendrick recorded 49 tackles (41 solo), 10 passes defended and an interception during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played.
ANALYSIS
Kendrick was given two opportunities throughout the season to prove his worth as a starter, as he began the year starting alongside Ahkello Witherspoon and regained the role after losing it to Cobie Durant for a few weeks in the middle of the season. Kendrick wouldn't be able to hang on to the starting job on his second chance, however, and was relegated to backup duty by Week 16. Witherspoon may leave in free agency, but the Rams may elect to shore up the position in the offseason, jeopardizing Kendrick's chances of increasing his playing time for a third consecutive season.

The rookie sixth-rounder emerged from Week 3 of last season with a concussion, but it was Troy Hill and Cobie Durant who handled most of the cornerback snaps by season's end. Opposing quarterbacks had a 106.4 passer rating when targeting Kendrick, which may have had a role in being demoted to almost no role in the Rams defense in the last five games of the campaign. With Jalen Ramsey and Hill both off the roster, though, Kendrick will have another opportunity to prove himself worthy of playing time in 2023.
