With the 167th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft the Las Vegas Raiders select Joshua Kaindoh from Florida State University. Kaindoh is an intriguing pass rusher who has the physical tools to succeed but has not quite put it all together.

Kaindoh was a five-star recruit out of the IMG Academy and joined Florida State in 2017. He was a rotational pass rusher in 2017 and 2018 before earning a bigger role in 2019. That was cut short however as he missed 10 games due to injury and was able to redshirt that season. He returned to the team in 2020 and started 8 games but was unable to record a sack and had just 3 tackles for loss.

If the Raiders select Joshua Kaindoh, they are not doing so because of his production but because at 6-5, 260 and with a 4.65 40, he has the physical tools to potentially develop into a starting defensive end. He may not make a great impact early in his career but if he can fill out his frame and work on his technique, his physical tools can help him become a consistent player in the NFL.
