The One That Got Away

North Carolina Linebacker Kevin Reddick did not get drafted in the NFL's three day draft-a-thon that ended early Saturday evening and there are 31 NFL teams that are going to regret that decision. He was projected to go anywhere from the third thru the fifth rounds from the so called experts but no matter how hard they try, drafting players is not an exact science. They can measure, poke, and prod the players, watch them run 40s, catch passes, and give them what amounts to an IQ test but that does not mean they are going to get a future hall of famer or that they are even going to make the team. Kenin Reddick has speed, instinct, and was basically a four year starter at North Carolina. He can tackle,blitz, drop into pass coverage and run from sideline to sideline. The New Orleans Saints signed him as an Undrafted Free Agent and here is hoping he makes the rest of the teams in the NFL pay for their over sight.
