Been super solid all the way, often being crucial to opening up for the offense, and generally being annoying on defense. Season 3 was brutal, and it's time to retire. Thank you!

Eric was a typical sacker, made to get the ballcarrier down, or at least to pop the ball out of his hands. In a blitzer corps that also included Guard blitzer Avery Williamson and two rookie blitzer, he was its leading blitzer in season 1. He made one fifth of the teams blocks and one fourth of its casualties that first season. This was despite his early injury. In the 6th game of the season versus the Knights, Eric badly failed a dodge and was sent off with a fractured skull, thus missing the seventh game versus the Greenskins. With Vikings getting a 1-1-6 season, there was no playoff for them. (Earlier info aout ProBowl deleted. This was Eric Ebron of the Bucs, not Eric Kendricks)

As Season 2 started, the Vikings got a new head coach (spelledaren) and the whole team got rid of all their perms. Eric was fit for fight, and showed himself as the true team captain. This was his great season, making 128 blocks, one fifth of the total blocks of the team, and 6 casualties, almost a third of the team total. He also played 15 games this season (13 regular season and both play-off matches). The streak ended both for Vikings and Kendricks in the Conference semi-final against the Knights. Knights won 2-1 and Kendricks was sent off early in the first half with a broken jaw after a foul by Trey Junkin. Injured, he also missed the ProBowl.

While the second season had been his great moment of glory, the third season would become a litany of sorrows. He survived the SoS-games versus Knights and Legion, but in the third regular season game vs Avalanche, he was sent off with a broken leg after a block by blitzer Jevon Kearse. Then, in the eighth game against the Wolfskins, rookie lineman Santana Moss kicked his skull in again, and this time, no apo or magical healing was there to help him. Back again after midseason, the first game was against the Wolfskins and Kendricks hadn't even moved as he was blitzed by Olivier Vernon and sent off with a broken neck. Missing the Eagles game, he was a shadow of himself in the following game against the Razorbacks an was then sent off again with a gouged eye against the 49ers. He managed to send Thorwald Hessel off with a broken neck in the fifteenth game of the season against the Crimson Cascade, but that proved to be his last career casualty. He played the first play-off game versus the Buccaneers, but was sent off with a smashed hip by Buccaneers rookie lineman J.J.Wilcox early in the first half. We are sure the "old" Kendricks would never have failed so easily, but season 3 had proved too long and grueling for the Vikings veteran blitzer. Younger and fitter blitzers, like Sean Spence and Keenan Robinson had taken over. Despite winning against the Buccaneers, the Vikings run ended once more in the Conference semifinal against the Knights, and Kendricks was not there, still suffering from his smashed hip. After the season, coach spelle had to tell Eric that his career was over. He is still remembered for his glorious second season as team captain of the Erengrad Vikings.
