2021 NFL Draft: Predicting what round FSU players are selected
By Kelvin Hunt
Man, talk about a player that had some tough luck and never lived up to his recruiting ranking.
Joshua Kaindoh was a part of the final 2017 recruiting class with Jimbo Fisher. He was considered the No. 10 player overall, No. 3 defensive end, and No. 2 player in Florida.
Kaindoh appeared in 25 games with one start in his first two seasons but didn’t have the production to match. The production he managed came against sub-par competition.
However, Kaindoh’s junior season seemed like he was ready to take off as he played well in the first two games of the year, but a season-ending knee injury against Virginia ended that before it got started.
Enter 2020, Kaindoh starts eight games for the Noles and doesn’t have the impact to match the hype FSU coaches had for him coming out of fall camp.
He only had eight sacks in his entire career, and four of those came in one game against Delaware State as a freshman.
However, the defensive end is a position where teams will take a flyer on a player with good measurables. Kaindoh, despite the lack of production, has everything you want from a physical standpoint.
I think some team will take him somewhere in the fifth to the sixth round.
