A lot of similarities to Drew Dalman when he was coming out in the draft. Pure zone blocking center with good agility, tremendous run blocker on the move, experienced college starter who is also the son of a former NFL OL. For a smaller lineman he's pretty damn strong and plays with great leverage, to the point where I don't think you can rule out playing him at guard or center at the NFL level. Fundamentally he's about as sound as you're going to find at the college level, its not difficult to imagine his dad coaching him up early on.

Boston College OL Drew Kendall puts together a good rep here. He's been having an excellent practice today on Day 2 at the #ShrineBowl pic.twitter.com/fSr4xphqIS

Boston College C Drew Kendall was incredibly impressive on Day 1 of #ShrineBowl practices.

Here he is showing excellent hand placement and hip flexibility against Maryland DT Jordan Phillips. Phillips has been killing it so far but stalled out against Kendall a few times. #NFL… pic.twitter.com/QWW0KkxnCL

He looked pretty good at OG on limited reps as well.

His matchups against SMU DT/DE Elijah Roberts looked like this for the most part. Check out that consistent base throughout the rep. 👀 Kendall is such a technically sound player, @Coach_Applebaum did a great job with this… pic.twitter.com/rcapBCqaIo

It seems like this year's online class has some "diamond in the rough" propects

Kendall is still the guy that sticks out to me if they are looking to add a center later on via the draft. Ideal fit for an outside zone type offense, has the awareness and smarts to quickly pick up blitzes and make adjustments, very similar to the kind of prospect that Drew Dalman was coming out of Stanford.

Maybe we'll finally the Niners draft a center with Shanny playing less of a role in the draft.
