Arizona Cardinals first round pick Haason Reddick is projected to be a starter at inside linebacker when the Cardinals travel to Detroit in the season opener, according to Darren Urban of the team’s official website.
Reddick, Deone Bucannon and Karlos Dansby are expected to all see time at the two inside linebacker spots in Arizona’s 3-4 defense, but with Bucannon likely to start the season on the PUP list after undergoing ankle surgery this offseason, Reddick appears to slated to handle the bulk of those snaps.
He was viewed as a jack-of-all-trades player by the PFF Analysis team prior to the draft, capable of contributing as a run defender, pass rusher and cover man.
