Kaindoh appeared in three games with one start in his junior campaign (nine tackles, 2.5 for loss, with one sack) but was lost for the rest of the year with a lower leg injury. He started eight games in 2020, making 13 tackles, three for loss, and returned an interception for a touchdown. -- by Chad Reuter
Overview
Former five-star defensive end who looks the part but doesn't have the production to go with the traits. Kaindoh has good length but is inconsistent in activating it properly, as his upper-body strength falls a little short. He doesn't have the natural gait and fluid movements of fellow FSU defensive end prospect Janarius Robinson and tends to stay blocked once his opponent gets into his frame. There are occasional flashes as a rusher, but if he doesn't take an early lead, he's unlikely to get home. He might be worth a look later in the draft based purely upon the traits. Strengths
Long, NFL-caliber frame with even more room for muscle.
Adequate upfield spring off the snap and into neutral zone.
Initial quickness and body lean help him knife into B-gap on slants.
Uses length to separate and set the edge.
Capable of getting from one edge to the other with his rush counter.
Speed-to-power conversion potential as a pro.
Length could become more effective rush weapon with work.
Weaknesses
Has dealt with injuries and made just 10 career starts.
Looked as though he were favoring left ankle at times.
Play tends to be segmented and lacks athletic fluidity.
Doesn't use size traits to command the rep.
Below-average rush with only one sack in his last 11 games.
Inaccurate hand slaps fail to open outside rush lanes.
Not enough bend to dip below punch at top of the rush.
I dont know how anyone can watch the highlights and make a Kpass comp. This man moves like an NFL edge player, Kpass just never had that look or feel to him. [Reply]

We’ll see how this kid does but he’s my least favorite pick of the draft
If a 4th rounder is your least favorite pick, they did okay then. [Reply]

Personally the 2nd round picks didnt blow me away but theyre almost sure contributors at areas of need and its hard to complain. If Kaindoh, a guy with a low floor but pro bowl type upside is your least favorite, it aint that bad. [Reply]

The 2nd rounders won't really blow anybody away but then again, I think that's kind of the point.
They drafted solid, starting-quality players with their first two picks. Both Bolton and Humphrey are going to contribute right away and for a team like this, that's something you need when you already have so many playmakers.
They could have used another WR but what they did get was all about solid value and I can't argue with it. [Reply]
Seems like a really solid dude. Easy smile, called everyone sir, thoughtful answers. Easy guy to root for, I hope he tears it up and gets some rings. [Reply]
He only played 8 games his 4th year and then went to San Diego where he notched 70 rec, 880 yards, and 7 TD's before finally just being too hurt to play anymore. [Reply]
