Kevin Reddick reminds me of Daryl Washington for the Cardinals. He is extremely versatile and can rush the passer. He is a bit undersized though.

Chase Thomas reminds me of Aaron Maybin. They have similar speed, but i don't think Maybin has the versatility of Thomas. I think we can expect more than 6 sacks in 5 years out of Thomas if he makes the team.

Well Washington is an OLB, prob 15 lbs lighter than Reddick, who by all accounts will play ILB.


Aaron Maybin, athletically, is on another level than Chase Thomas. He's nearly 2 tenths of a second faster in the 40, had a 40" vertical jump at his pro day, and had a broad jump nearly a foot more than Thomas.

I don't get to see much of Arizona but I believe Daryl Washington plays inside.

I'm pretty positive he does, too. Reddick wasn't a slouch at UNC. I was surprised to see him go undrafted, but definitely happy he ended up signing with us.

ETA: Just checked Zona's roster and he's listed as an ILB.

Reddick and Thomas could've been picked in the 3rd or 4th tbh.

Neither are explosive athletes and that's why they slid. I don't think it'll affect Reddick much though, Brandon Spikes ran like a 5 flat and he's a fine player inside.

Agreed. If you only look at Reddick's stats, he's definitely a mid-round pick. Hopefully we can keep him around to learn from Vilma and Lofton.

Maybe he plays ILB now. I think he played OLB as a rookie. Definitely came into the league as an OLB. Even so, he's about 230lbs

Nah I'm pretty sure he's played inside his whole life. Even in college. He's just small for the position but he's fast so it makes up for it.

I think I remember him coming into the league as an OLB and being an OLB in college. Not 100% sure though.

Reddick is more like lofton
Thomas is like the OLB rookie of year from panthers.
