Whether or not you're a Bleacher Report reader, it's always good to see something nice written up about the potential for one of UConn's own.
San Diego Chargers DE Kendall Reyes

No. 49 overall selection (Round 2)
Pre-Draft Prospect Rank: No. 52
Kendall Reyes has big potential as a defensive end in the Chargers’ 3-4 defensive scheme, but as he transitions from playing defensive tackle at Connecticut, he will have a tough time earning a starting spot in training camp.
With 2011 first-round pick Corey Liuget likely to have one starting spot locked down, Reyes will have to unseat Vaughn Martin, who had a breakout year in 2011, to earn a spot in the starting lineup. Reyes has the talent to push for Martin’s spot, but is best suited to be a rotational player off the bench as he learns the ropes as a rookie.
Veteran defensive end Jacques Cesaire could also push Reyes for playing time, so Reyes’ ability to learn his new position quickly will be important for the amount of snaps he receives this season.
