Panthers signed Oklahoma DL Jalen Redmond.
Redmond (6’3/292) shows off a basketball background with good feet and a keen understanding of how to get under blockers. He has probably relied on his athleticism for too long and often struggles to react when he is stymied in his original rush. Nevertheless, he is a good hand fighter that needs to learn when to deploy different moves. Redmond’s low center of gravity allows him to be a big contributor in the twist and stunt game. This highlights his athleticism and will help gain the favor of movement-happy coaches in the NFL. As a professional, Redmond will likely be a rotational piece but he can survive on an island against a blocker if need be. But, he should impress with his best trait of working on combo-pass rushes in tandem with a teammate.
