The outside linebacker/EDGE position is a top priority for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL Draft.

At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, Temple’s Haason Reddick might be a bit of a tweener as a linebacker or defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. But it’s impossible to ignore the production he put up last season — 43 solo tackles, 9.5 sacks and 22.5 tackles for a loss.

Reddick is versatile enough to move around in head coach Mike Tomlin’s defense, which would be a major bonus for this unit’s overhaul needs.
