PHILADELPHIA — Haason Reddick didn’t have time for pleasantries.
The Camden, N.J., native and former Temple standout sat across from Matt Rhule and Phil Snow in March 2021 for a free-agency meeting with familiar faces running the Carolina Panthers at the time. The tenor of that conversation still resonates with Rhule two years later.
Reddick’s career hung in the balance at the time. He could feel his NFL future slipping through his fingers. For the first time since he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 2017 and switched to inside linebacker, he had real control over his situation. So instead of reminiscing with his old head coach and defensive coordinator about their shared time at Temple, he pressed the only question that mattered that day.
