Five Arizona Cardinals Targets from Day Three of NFL Combine
By Jeremy Meek
Haason Reddick might have earned a stop in the top 15 of the draft
With linebacker Kevin Minter on the verge of free agency, the Cardinals could find themselves in need of another inside linebacker. Minter was gotten better, and was reliable, but had physical limitations. They could get more athletic in this draft.
One of the hottest names over the past month has been linebacker Haason Reddick. His tape shows a marvelous athlete who mostly produced as a pass rusher at Temple. In the NFL, he could be a star as an inside linebacker.
If he was already a hot name, after today, Reddick has gone supernova. He ran a blinding 4.52 in the 40 yard dash, and added a 36 1/2 inch vertical jump and a 11’1″ broad jump. He was also very sharp in the drills, showing good movement skills in the agility tests. The 13th overall pick will be needed if the Cardinals want him, as his star is certainly on the rise.
