5. Devon Kennard Should Get You Excited:

As a rookie in 2014, Kennard recorded 4.5 sacks all in his final 5 games, notched 43 tackles, played in 12 games with 6 starting nods. Kennard’s strong suits: physical talent, knowledge of the game, and work ethic.

If he can stay healthy, Kennard has all the keys to be a play-maker that can stop the run on the edge as a SAM, and threaten the quarterback in the backfield. As sure as a sure thing can get with this linebacker core, pencil Devon Kennard as your weak side starter for the 2016 season.
