Temple LB Haason Reddick Goes From College Walk-On to Projected First-Round Pick

Due in part to Reddick playing just four games his senior year because of injuries, the opportunity just wasn’t there for him at the next level.

“I thought my football career was over after high school,” Reddick said last week at the NFL Scouting Combine. “It just so happened my father, he was poking around, trying to see if there was any way I could get on the football team, and [Temple] coach Francis Brown, he’s at Baylor now, but he was on the first staff when I got there, and we knew him from back home. I actually did a couple workouts with him and he got me on as a preferred walk-on.
