I wasn't planning on doing this feature, but I remembered we hadn't done it yet! So let's take a look at the Bulldogs signal caller from 2021.

All the data is per Pro Football Focus.

2016 -- 67.0 PFF grade over 64 snaps played
2018 -- 72.7 PFF grade over 67 snaps played
2019 -- 66.2 PFF grade over 547 snaps played
2020 -- 54.4 PFF grade over 55 snaps played

Kendall has played 733 snaps in his career.

As a junior at West Virginia in 2019, Kendall completed 62% of his throws for 1,989 yards, 12 TDs, and 10 INTs.

Passing Depth:

At LOS or Behind: 73/85 (86%) for 376 yards, 1 TD
0-10 Yards Down Field: 74/104 (71%) for 645 yards, 2 TDs, 4 INTs
11-20 Yards Down Field: 28/60 (47%) for 466 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INTs
20+ Yards Down Field: 12/44 (27%) for 502 yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs

Passing Pressure:

Kept Clean: 156/242 (65%) for 1,597 yards, 10 TDs, 7 INTs
Under Pressure: 31/62 (50%) for 392 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs
Not Blitzed: 151/235 (64%), for 1,548 yards, 8 TDs, 8 INTs
When Blitzed: 36/69 (52%) for 441 yards, 4 TDs, 2 INTs

Passing Concept:

Play Action: 42/78 (54%), for 638 yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs
No Play Action: 145/226 (64%) for 1,351 yards, 7 TDs, 7 INTs
Screen: 60/68 (88%) for 320 yards, 1 TD
No Screen: 127/236 (54%) for 1,669 yards, 11 TDs, 10 INTs

West Virginia WRs had 21 drops (10%) drop rate, and Kendall was pressured on 25% of his drop backs. For comparison, Luke Anthony was pressured on 33% of his drop backs last year, so Kendall was pressured a bunch at WVU in 2019.

From what I've seen this fall: Kendall appears to be a quick decision maker + he's really comfortable in the RPO/play action game. He only had 91 yards rushing at WVU in 2019, but he did have 150 yards scrambling. Lots of loss yardage built into the sacks. He can move around in the pocket, not a statue by any means.

Need to stay healthy up front on the OL + at outside WR, but I am excited to see what he can do within this offense. It's been a friendly system to veteran QBs with some experience.
