May turn out to be the best player in this draft. All the physical tools, needs to play under control. Plays violent, physical & explosive. #BrawlNetwork pic.twitter.com/eQG5vTOMaL
Javon Kinlaw belt squatting 2,000 pounds is another regular reminder that the standard rules of athleticism do not apply to pro athletes the way they do to you and me https://t.co/JEQde4aF9i

Here are my evaluations of two of the top interior DL in this draft class - Derrick Brown and Javon Kinlaw. Here's a question to ponder: Must an interior DL be a quality pass rusher to have premium value in both the draft and the NFL? pic.twitter.com/ngFmOaPhJY

Pressure is the best indicator of future sacks. Kinlaw creates pressure ALL THE TIME. Sacks started coming last year (6) and they'll keep coming in the NFL.

Kinlaw is one of two players that have no business even being playside at any point in this play. Keys pulling guard, attacks the center with blinding quickness, then finds the ball, sheds, shows off insane range and makes the play.

Truly an "are you kidding me?" type of play. pic.twitter.com/SffCjiWOHO

This player did not register enough metrics to qualify for #RAS.https://t.co/wwWxft2y4w pic.twitter.com/ICcX3KTZI7
Very nice from Kinlaw despite being late off snap. Uses a quick gallop to stay square with C then initiates contact to gain superior hand placement. Anchor turns to put C on his heels & limit the blockable surface for LG on the double then aggressively sheds once RB chooses hole. pic.twitter.com/0fHVjxggvX

South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw, a likely top 10 pick, has successfully rehabbed the knee tendinitis that caused him to cut short his Senior Bowl, sources say. But rehab was the focus more so than training, so he’ll do field work at his school’s Pro Day.

Javon Kinlaw, IDL, South Carolina: If you've followed for awhile, you know Ive been yelling about Kinlaw since early last CFB season. He has all the traits you want and he's gotten better technically too. Vision and mental processing are still coming along, but he's Rd1 fo sho
— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) January 27, 2020
Sure, it's possible. Brown/Kinlaw are the top-tier for iDL and then Blacklock and Gallimore (and 1-2 others) are on the next tier IMO.
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) January 22, 2020
Gallimore quicker, but Blacklock able to unlock more power at the POA and in his reset. https://t.co/sU6KzS62gs

Kinlaw might be the best overall player at the Senior Bowl. While his production was merely average in college, he has elite size and burst.
With a big week, he can solidify himself as a top-20 pick.
