Eric Kendricks has developed into one of the top linebackers to ever suit up for the Minnesota Vikings.
When he was a rookie in 2015, the Minnesota Vikings and head coach Mike Zimmer made the attempt to bring along linebacker Eric Kendricks slowly. Kendricks didn’t enter the starting lineup for the Vikings until his fourth career game with the team and looking back, that was a mistake.
Minnesota should have opened the 2015 season with the young linebacker as a starter. But the Vikings eventually realized what they had in Kendricks and he has remained in the team’s starting lineup for the majority of his NFL career.
