If you’re watching the 2023 Super Bowl tonight, you’ll likely be hearing Haason Reddick‘s name a few times when the Kansas City Chiefs offense is on the field.
The 28-year-old is an outside linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning he’ll be trying to sack Patrick Mahomes while KC tries to score.

Fans have been wondering a lot about Haason‘s personal life, and there’s not much information available about any past partners or girlfriends. He is not married and has no children that have been reported by the press.
But Haason is someone you’ll want to be rooting for. This is his first season with Philadelphia and he has made a huge impact while playing for the Eagles. His stellar play this season earned him his first spot in the Pro Bowl, was named a Second-team All-Pro, and is playing in his first Super Bowl! In fact, since he entered the NFL a few years ago, he had never played in a playoff game until this year.
“It’s a great feeling not cleaning out your locker,” he told NBC about the Eagles’ journey. “Usually, I’ll be planning what trip I’m about to go on, but now I’m here with a chance to fight for something special, be a part of something special and, shoot, man, I’m trying to do my best to make sure we hit that goal.”
He was previously labeled a “first round bust” when he was drafted to the Arizona Cardinals in the 2017 draft, earning just about 7 sacks in three years of play. Well, he certainly has turned that narrative around. In December 2022 alone he sacked quarterbacks 8 times.
“I’ve been working hard to change that narrative,” he added about turning his play around. “So many negative narratives put out my first couple years. All I’ve been doing is working hard and trying to change my path in the NFL and be the best NFL player I could be. Taking these victories as they come and doing my best to build on them.”
Best of luck to both the Eagles and the Chiefs today!
