Explain Haason Reddick to me

He played DE in college, but the draft experts consistently say he will/should play ILB in the NFL. Why wouldn't he be a great OLB for a 3-4 or a 4-3? Seems with his speed he can cover when needed or rush the passer from the outside (like he has done in college). I like him in that role for the Saints if Barnett is gone by 11.

I haven't seen that. I've always seen OLB.
CBS says OLB

He also played LB in college and DB in High School.

Nah. Almost all of them say he should play WILL in a 4-3 or possibly ILB in a 34.
So he would play WILL for us.

That's exactly what he would be for us. WILL LB used as a pass rusher and in coverage.

He played at 4-3 OLB in the Senior Bowl and dominated.

Yep. He would change the defense significantly. Pursuit to the boundary, edge setting when needed, coverage, then pass rusher on 3rd down. He's a Swiss Army knife

Unprecedented? Didn't Urlachers big arse run a 4.5 or something ridiculous like that.

I went back and put that in quotes

He's fast, he can rush the passer, and he started off as a walk on corner back at Temple so he can cover also.

I think I am on the Reddick train. My #1 choice besides one of the top 10 studs slipping to us.

He misses a lot of tackles which scares me as an OLB
Posted on 4/27/17 at 1:36 pm to dcw7g
I remember early in the draft process when we started talking about him on here, people were losing their shite at the thought of taking him at 11.
Now faced with the possibilities of Humphrey or Jackson, people are cumming their pants over him.

So we will go from a player that cannot get to the ball to a player that will be there but might miss 40% of the time.

Guilty. I originally thought he was just a combine warrior then I did research on him.

I would like to say that playing at Temple would sour me a bit, but D Ware played at Troy.

Khalil Mack was a Buffalo.

Biggest concern:
Struggles to break down, get square and tackle consistently. Missed 15 tackles on only 76 attempts in 2016 and missed 28 on 150 attempts over last three seasons.
Overruns too many plays because of his aggressiveness and desire to penetrate into the backfield.
Not nearly as productive when rushing from the right side; 11 pressures on 115 rushes.
54th out of 61 qualifying 3-4 OLBs in tackling efficiency.
May lack the bulk to consistently hold up at the line of scrimmage against NFL tackles.
Needs to learn a countermove for rushing the passer; large split in productivity between rushing off each edge likely explained by physical comfort level of bending the left side on speed rushes over the right.
