Panthers
New Panthers’ EDGE Haason Reddick isn’t concerned about the possibility of being called a one-year wonder after his biggest NFL season yet.
“Teams had concerns about last year, being as though it was my first year on the edge,” Reddick said, via David Newton of ESPN. “With the production I had, they want to see if I am the real deal or was last year just a fluke.’’
Reddick reiterated the fact that he is a true outside linebacker, and that playing in the middle isn’t for him.
“I had tried inside linebacker, and that’s not me,” Reddick said. “I wanted to make sure [in free agency] I was used as a pass-rusher. That’s what I do best. That’s where I’m most confident.”
With other pass-rushers receiving large deals on the free-agent market, Reddick is unbothered. His only focus remains to be the best player he can and says that his time is coming.
“I never measure myself based off what another man has, or what another man has gotten,” Reddick said. “I focus on myself. How can I be a better person? How can I be a better football player? … I like where I’m at. And I know my time is coming.”
Reddick’s former position coach in Arizona has no doubts about his former pupil being a one-hit-wonder.
“Carolina got a jewel,” Cardinals DL coach Brentson Buckner said. “He is hungry. He knew going into free agency people would say we want to see him do it again. He was like, ‘I’m always gonna bet on myself.’ So you’re getting a hungry guy who’s super-athletic, who’s young, who’s still finding his way, but he’s on the right path.”
