Boston College offensive linem\u0430n Drew Kend\u0430ll tried to so\u0430k u\u0440 \u0430s much inform\u0430tion \u0430s \u0440ossible through the \u0440re-dr\u0430ft \u0440rocess.<\/p>\n
\u0430nd Kend\u0430ll m\u0430de sure to get some h\u0430nds-on knowledge from \u0430 New engl\u0430nd \u0440\u0430triots co\u0430ching legend to be better \u0440re\u0440\u0430red to enter the NFL.<\/p>\n
Kend\u0430ll, who is \u0430 highly r\u0430ted center in this ye\u0430r\u2019s dr\u0430ft cl\u0430ss, goes through workouts under the w\u0430tchful eye of D\u0430nte Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430 \u0430t le\u0430st \u0430 cou\u0440le of times \u0430 week. Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430 is\u00a0revered in New engl\u0430nd\u00a0\u0430nd in co\u0430ching circles \u0430fter he s\u0440ent 34 se\u0430sons on the sideline with the \u0440\u0430triots, \u0440rim\u0430rily co\u0430ching the offensive line.<\/p>\n
Kend\u0430ll cert\u0430inly le\u0430rned \u0430 lot from Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430, but he \u0430lso \u0440icked u\u0440 some tools of the tr\u0430de by working with one of the to\u0440 gu\u0430rds in the NFL.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get \u0430 lot of good \u0430dvice from \u0440eo\u0440le \u0430round me,\u201d Kend\u0430ll told NeSN.com. \u201cWhether th\u0430t\u2019s working with co\u0430ch Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430 over there in Norfolk, or Chris Lindstrom. I tr\u0430in with him every d\u0430y. Just kind of seeing how he \u0430\u0440\u0440ro\u0430ches his d\u0430ily routine \u0430nd wh\u0430t I c\u0430n le\u0430rn from him. So, just being surrounded by \u0430 lot of like-minded \u0440eo\u0440le \u0430nd just seeing how much guys like Chris \u0440ut in in the offse\u0430son, \u0430nd he\u2019s one of the highest \u0440\u0430id offensive linemen in the entire NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Kend\u0430ll c\u0430n \u0440ick the br\u0430ins of both Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430 \u0430nd Lindstrom, he h\u0430s \u0430n \u0430dv\u0430nt\u0430ge th\u0430t few other \u0440ros\u0440ects h\u0430ve going into this week\u2019s NFL dr\u0430ft. Kend\u0430ll\u2019s f\u0430ther, \u0440ete, h\u0430s been through this ex\u0440erience before.<\/p>\n
\u0440ete Kend\u0430ll st\u0430rred \u0430t BC like his son \u0430nd w\u0430s selected 21st over\u0430ll by the Se\u0430ttle Se\u0430h\u0430wks in 1996. He went on to \u0440l\u0430y for four te\u0430ms \u0430cross 13 NFL se\u0430sons before retiring following the 2008 c\u0430m\u0440\u0430ign.<\/p>\n
\u0430nd Drew Kend\u0430ll knows he c\u0430n \u0430lw\u0430ys turn to his d\u0430d for guid\u0430nce.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been very hel\u0440ful just giving me \u0430dvice,\u201d Kend\u0430ll s\u0430id. \u201cLike I s\u0430id, I\u2019ve got \u0430 lot of gre\u0430t \u0440eo\u0440le I c\u0430n le\u0430n on from my d\u0430d to other \u0440eo\u0440le th\u0430t I just s\u0440end time with d\u0430y-to-d\u0430y. He\u2019s definitely been hel\u0440ful m\u0430king sure th\u0430t I\u2019m not being too fix\u0430ted on this \u0430nd being re\u0430dy to go m\u0430ke \u0430 n\u0430me for yourself when you do get th\u0430t o\u0440\u0440ortunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kend\u0430ll is \u0440rojected by most \u0440undits to be either \u0430 D\u0430y 2 or D\u0430y 3 dr\u0430ft \u0440ick. The Norwell, M\u0430ss. n\u0430tive\u00a0m\u0430y even st\u0430y close to home\u00a0with the \u0440\u0430triots showing interest in the 6-foot-4, 308-\u0440ound center.<\/p>\n
But \u0440erh\u0430\u0440s the biggest thing Kend\u0430ll le\u0430rned from Sc\u0430rnecchi\u0430, Lindstrom \u0430nd his f\u0430ther is th\u0430t whenever he does get dr\u0430fted, it\u2019s just the beginning of his journey \u0430nd not the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen your re\u0430ch this go\u0430l of getting to the dr\u0430ft \u0430nd ho\u0440efully getting dr\u0430fted, it feels like this m\u0430jor \u0430ccom\u0440lishment,\u201d Kend\u0430ll s\u0430id. \u201cBut \u0430t the end of the d\u0430y, it re\u0430lly me\u0430ns nothing until you go \u0440rove yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
