Haason Samir Reddick (born September 22, 1994) is an American football linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Temple, and was drafted by the Cardinals 13th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Reddick attended Haddon Heights High School in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. He played safety and running back for the Garnets high school football team. He played in only four games his senior season due to a fractured femur.
Reddick joined the Temple University football team as a walk-on in 2012. He was a running back and safety his freshman year. He redshirted for the 2012 season and saw his first game action in 2013. As a senior in 2016, he was named First Team All-AAC after recording 65 tackles and 10.5 sacks as a defensive end.
Although he played defensive end at Temple, Reddick was invited to the Senior Bowl, but was inserted in as a linebacker and was able to excel. He received an invitation to NFL Scouting Combine as a defensive end and completed all the required drills. Reddick's 11'1" broad jump was the best among defensive lineman since 2003 and his 4.52 in the 40-yard dash was the best among the defensive lineman at the draft and second best among linebackers. He also attended Temple's Pro Day and decided to only run the shuttle, three-cone, and do positional drills. Reddick was projected to be a first round pick by NFL draft experts and analysts. He was ranked the best linebacker in the draft by ESPN, the second best linebacker by Sports Illustrated, ranked the best outside linebacker by NFLDraftScout.com, and the second best linebacker by NFL media analyst Mike Mayock.
