St. Louis Rams TE Lance Kendricks said he watched film on himself last season and saw that most of the mistakes he made during the season was when he was tired. ‘The main thing I saw was a lot of times when I was tired was when I made my most mistakes,’ Kendricks said. ‘Just being able to stay focused and fight through that and compete and go out there and just perform when I am tired was my main thing I wanted to do better. When you get tired, you can forget things and I would have a mental error here or there so I think most of it just came from fatigue.’ Kendricks added five pounds of muscle this offseason to improve his stamina and is looking to be more focused during games.
Our View: We still love the natural skill set Kendricks has and see him as a buy low ‘lottery ticket’ type of prospect in dynasty leagues. Kendricks showed good ball skills in college, but looked lost at times on the field last year as a rookie. If he can play up to his potential Kendricks could become a favorite target of QB Sam Bradford.
