A small-school prospect with decent upside as a camp body. Reddick is currently training with Patrick Peterson Sr. at P2Nation the father of Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl defensive back Patrick Peterson. That should help open a few doors for Reddick to get some shatter to NFL scouts and possibly and most importantly, camp invitations. He has spoke with Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, and San Diego Chargers at the Tropic Bowl. Keep an eye on Seattle they are not afraid to bring in guys who fit their schemes and disregard draft status. Overall, Reddick is raw with little experience against the likes of what he’ll face in the NFL. He plays hard and is a solid tackler. Tough and has fluid hips. Shows good eyes and instincts to make plays on the ball. Is quick to plant and drive on routes. Shows some playmaking ability. Didn’t face top competition in college. For a guy like Reddick he’ll have to get in rookie camp and spark the interest of the coaching staff and is better than some D1 corners ranked.
