On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by 49ers linebacker Eric Kendricks for a wide‑ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly honest conversation that swings from NFL war stories to car collections to questionable tattoos. Eric kicks things off by declaring—alongside Cam—that he’s definitely better than his brother Mychal, before revealing he once thought the Saints were going to draft him in the first round. The two revisit their playoff battles, including the infamous Minneapolis Miracle matchup that still stings in New Orleans, and Eric opens up about the vibe inside the 49ers locker room and why it’s exactly what he hoped for. The college stories start flowing as Eric explains why UCLA won him over (and why Cal rubbed him the wrong way), while Cam relives his own 3‑star recruitment journey and the chaos of taking every visit possible. From there, they dive into the wild 49ers–Bears 42-38 thriller, the chess‑match play‑calling between Kyle Shanahan and Ben Johnson, and how today’s offenses—and quarterbacks—are changing the sport. With the 49ers pushing for the No. 1 seed, Eric talks about staying locked in, choosing San Francisco in free agency, and keeping his routine sharp in year 11. Things take a turn when Cam refuses to call the Super Bowl a “San Francisco Super Bowl,” Eric reveals the newest addition to his car collection (a Honda CRX), and the two bond over stick‑shift lessons, Little Caesars schemes, and dream cars like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera GT. The episode closes with Cam talking about his NFL future. A funny, insightful, and wide‑open conversation between two vets who’ve seen everything and aren’t afraid to talk about it.
