So this year how good was he?
As a defensive back, Redfield racked up 65 tackles and forced two fumbles. He recovered four fumbles and picked off four passes. He also blocked four punts.
As a wide receiver, he caught 45 passes, chalking up 757 yards in the process. He ran six of those passes back for touchdowns.
