Derion Kendrick is going to be an All-American level cornerback this year, mark the tape.

Dabo Swinney said during fall camp that Kendrick looks like a completely different player this year in camp. Last season, Kendrick was just learning his way around the position and adjusting into a new role. This year, he’s going to be the Tigers’ No. 1 coverage option.

Kendrick has the athleticism and mindset to play the cornerback spot at a high level and there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll do that and much more this season.
