2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Sergio Kindle

Strengths:

Lots of experience in various roles

Very athletic

Nice closing speed

Love his flexibility

Great sideline-to-sideline range

Fluid lateral movements

Technically sound in coverage

Solid instincts

Versatile: Can play 4-3 SAM and 3-4 rush LB

Has some upside

Weaknesses:

Serious problems shedding blocks

Inconsistent

Soft

Weak at point of attack

Only rush moves are speed and bull

Liability against the run

Stonewalled against talented linemen

Needs some development

Doesn’t live up to measureables

Questionable character

Summary: Kindle is strictly either an outside linebacker (4-3 and 3-4 schemes) or a third pass rusher at the next level. He looks very disinterested in playing physical football and is a finesse player without many pass rush moves, which is why I am not very high on him as a prospect. I think he has a lot of potential as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but he is a raw prospect. I�m worried about his game intangibles. Kindle is a projected second-round pick.

Player Comparison: Kamerion Wimbley. Wimbley has had an inconsistent career. He lacks physicality, but he has great athleticism like Kindle.
