Kendell Beckwith (born December 2, 1994) is a former American football linebacker. He played college football at Louisiana State University (LSU).[1]

Professional career

Coming out of LSU, Beckwith was projected by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts to be a third or fourth round draft pick. He received an invitation to the NFL combine, but was unable to perform any drills besides the bench press due to a torn ACL in his left knee that he suffered in November. On April 5, 2017, he attended LSU's pro day along with Leonard Fournette, Malachi Dupre, Jamal Adams, Ethan Pocic, Duke Riley, Tre'Davious White, and 11 other players. Beckwith was ranked the fifth-best inside linebacker prospect by NFLDraftScout.com.[2]

He competed with Cameron Lynch, Devante Bond, and Eric Nzeocha for a job as a starting outside linebacker.

He made his professional regular season debut and his first career start during the Buccaneers' season-opener against the Chicago Bears and recorded five solo tackles and deflected a pass in the 29–7 home victory at Raymond James Stadium.[6] On October 5, 2017, he recorded a season-high fourteen tackles in a 14–19 loss against the New England Patriots.[7]

On April 12, 2018, Beckwith was in a car accident with former LSU teammate Lamin Barrow and suffered a fractured ankle which required surgery.[8] He was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list on September 1, 2018, to start the season.[9]
