Kendall Reyes, Defensive Tackle – San Diego Chargers
Selected 17th in the second round of the draft, the former standout for the University of Connecticut Huskies and pride of Nashua North High School in New Hampshire was highest on this year’s draft. The 22-year old Reyes, who stands 6′-4″ and 300 pounds, will be asked to justify the Chargers’ high pick and four-year, $5 million deal by becoming a disruptive defensive force, particularly in pass rushing situations. He is slated to become the second-string DT when the season begins and, barring injury, can expect significant participation in certain defensive schemes within which his unique set of skills can be maximized.
