So far this season, Kennedy has played in seven games for the Lions, catching eight passes for 141 yards. In 20 career games with the Lions, he has 14 catches for 195 yards. He has not yet caught a touchdown pass in the NFL.

Just after the conclusion of the 2021 season, Kennedy told reporters that he believed the Lions are trending in the right direction.
I think we’ve been trending in the right directions the last few weeks,” he said. “That’s what the coaches have been saying, just get better. We might not be playing for a playoff spot or anything like that, but how good can we get, and can we keep getting better?”
