Kindley

The Dolphins selected Kindley in the fourth round of the 2020 draft and he logged significant playing time as a rookie. However, he did not play well as a run or pass blocker in his first season. Kindly improved substantially as a run blocker in 2021, but was limited to just three games by injury. He may be able to catch on as a depth option elsewhere.

Miami leapfrogged numerous competitors in the draft for Kindley (6’3/337), a three-year starting guard at Georgia who was left off postseason conference honors in each of the last two seasons (possibly because he was slowed by nagging injuries). His raw power and size are appealing for teams in power schemes, but his inconsistent tape, particularly in pass protection, is a concern. He didn’t allow a single sack as a redshirt sophomore but regressed last season while working next to LT Andrew Thomas. Kindley is a low-floor dart throw with enough traits to take a gamble on.
