The Patriots love to take college edge rushers with good movement skills and move them off the ball in a linebacker capacity. The Patriots have taken guys like Tedy Bruschi and Jamie Collins, two productive edge rushers in college, and moved them both off the ball. Reddick measured in at the Senior Bowl at 6’ 1.5” 237, which is a bit smaller than what the Patriots usually go at linebacker. However, that was the same stature Jerod Mayo measured in the 2008 combine and the Patriots drafted the 5’11” 230 Elandon Roberts last year, so size isn’t everything. Reddick initially walked on as a CB due to injuries in high school, but developed as an edge rusher at Temple in five years.
