Emergence of Lance Kendricks

With Jared Cook officially out of the picture after joining the Green Bay Packers in the offseason, Lance Kendricks entered the 2016 season knowing this would be the perfect opportunity to prove what he’s capable of in the passing game. Kendricks has always been known for his blocking skills, but after taking advantage of a favorable matchup against the Seahawks, don’t be surprised if the Rams try using their tight end in the passing game even more.

Kendricks came up big against Seattle after catching four passes for 61 yards–including a key 44-yard catch. The tight end is coming off a 2015 season in which he only recorded 25 catches for 245 yards with two touchdowns, but Sunday’s performance is the perfect example of what he can contribute on offense.

For a team that has faced all sorts of criticism for their lack of receiving corps, Kendricks finds himself in the perfect opportunity when it comes to proving he can be an effective weapon for Keenum when needed.
