The greatness of new Bucs edge rusher Haason Reddick is not overlooked by one iconic Buccaneer.
After all, Reddick landed in a mess out of college, one that took years to correct.
Drafted by Arizona in 2017, under head coach Bruce Arians, Reddick had three head coaches and three defensive coordinators in his first three seasons. And they all put him at inside linebacker.
How many players emerge with multiple Pro Bowls after that?
That’s not lost on Hall of Fame Bucs cornerback Rondé Barber, who told the [_No Off Days_](https://fts.foxaud.io/nooffdays?sid=fts.fox13tile&c=p_33YpGJYztc4CY53tGcoQ&h=4efb05b6da98bd2de) podcast that he loves the Reddick signing for Tampa Bay.
> “I love the way that he plays. I love how he’s overcome his own adversity,” Barber said.
>
> “Early in his career, they didn’t even know where to play him. If you remember, when Arizona drafted him, when Bruce Arians drafted him and didn’t know where to play him — stand-up or inside linebacker. But he kind of redefined himself and made himself a dominant edge player and it’s clearly one of our weaknesses.”
The “redefined himself” impresses Joe a ton.
Reddick balled out as an edge rusher in 2020 and left in free agency to Carolina. He crushed it there, too, and then was dominant in Philadelphia.
Has there ever been a double-digit sacker with four different teams? Joe can’t think of one. But that Bucs sure hope/expect that’s Reddick.
