NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Kentucky WR Kendrick Law

Kendrick Law is a tough run-after-catch weapon with explosive traits, but lacks production to be considered an impact prospect.

Initially, he enrolled at Alabama as a former 4-star recruit in the 2022 class. His presence was felt more on special teams for the Crimson Tide than as a wide receiver. After three seasons, he transferred to Kentucky, where he had his best receiving season.

Law has a well-proportioned and compact frame suited for a gadget receiver role, and his collegiate usage is evidence. Landing spot will be paramount for Law to carve out a role worthy of a spot on the 53-man roster. Projects as a practice squad and developmental prospect.
