When former Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was named the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills back in January, there were concerns about how Reggie Ragland would fit in McDermott’s 4-3 system.
Ragland, a standout linebacker for Alabama from 2012 to 2015, was already coming off a torn ACL that had ended his rookie season prematurely. On top of that, the 4-3 defense was never considered the ideal scheme for his skill set. Now that we know that the former 2016 second-round pick has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, those concerns about Ragland’s fit were clearly warranted.
