Cons

  • Transitions
    Not fleet of foot and can be a step late on inbreakers or triggering due to lack of acceleration out of his pedal
  • Fluidity
    Doesn’t have the smoothest of hips. Labors when tasked with moving off his landmark
  • Eye Discipline
    QBs can redirect him with his eyes when in the post. also has a tendency to bite on heavy play action

Eval:

Kinchens is a blend of size, speed and power that you can’t put into a box when it comes to his label.

He struggles in some technical areas and could benefit from better eye discipline but his physical traits and ball skills make him a versatile playmaker that defensive coordinators will love to deploy.

Floor Comp: Sydney Brown
