Replacement
Redmond made splash plays against the run, highlighted by a goal-line forced fumble, but perimeter lapses and minimal pass-rush production kept his grade at replacement level.

The full breakdown
Redmond's solid 70 run defense grade was sparked by high-impact interior stops, highlighted by shedding a block to force a goal-line fumble at Q3 09:42 and penetrating the B-gap for a stop at Q3 04:54. However, his run discipline wavered on outside concepts, getting reached by the tackle at Q3 13:27 and widened on fourth-and-short at Q4 08:30. On passing downs, he managed just a 60 grade across 40 snaps, failing to generate consistent push and surrendering scramble lanes at Q3 14:10 and Q3 05:19. Aside from a batted pass at Q3 04:55, that lack of pass-rush disruption kept his overall performance limited.
