The last few weeks there has been a lot of talk about Rashard Mendenhall vs. Isaac Redman. I have been very vocal about my love for Redman, but I do give credit to Mendenhall where credit is due. I thought about making this a post about that battle, but I am not going to. I just am writing this to show you one of the reasons I love Redman and why you should too.
Sir Redman is not a back with burner speed and he is not an athletic freak. He is just tenacious and has a very high motor. I would also say he has some power to his style, but some people would probably disagree with that. Anyway, Redman's ability to flex his intangibles took him from a Undrafted Free Agent to the secondary back on the world class Steelers football team. Willie Parker did the same thing, but it was FWP's blazing speed and Bettis injury that brought him into the limelight. I would argue that Redman had to fight a lot harder to get his spot.
