Scouting Report
Logan-Redding is a big-bodied defensive end with elite athleticism. He has shown the ability to set the edge and play strong against the run, but where he really stands out is as a pass rusher. Logan-Redding is quick off the snap and has good pursuit ability, in addition to possessing the physicality needed to fight off blocks and play through contact. He’ll need to add additional weight to his long frame and work on maintaining a consistently low pad level and refining his technique, but the ceiling is very high for Logan-Redding.
