There are a handful of players in every sport who are so good year after year, and you wonder if and when people will figure it out. Philadelphia Eagles edge-rusher Haason Reddick is one of those players. The Arizona Cardinals selected Reddick with the 13th overall pick in the 2017 draft out of Temple, and wrong-headedly tried to make him an off-ball linebacker in his first three seasons.
That didn’t work too well, and it was only in 2020, his fourth NFL season, that he was put on the edge where he belonged. Reddick responded with a career-high 13 sacks and 56 total pressures, and the Cardinals responded by letting him walk. The Carolina Panthers signed Reddick to a one-year, $6 million contract in the 2021 offseason, and Reddick bumped his career high in sacks with 15.
