Redding Joins Hoosier Tailbacks

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Devine Redding is the latest Indiana running back to continue his career in the NFL.

Redding's free agent deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, signed earlier this week, makes him the fourth consecutive Hoosier starter at the position to ink an NFL contract. And because one running back has entered the pros in each of the last three seasons, Redding will also join a pair of his former teammates: Tevin Coleman of the Atlanta Falcons (2012-14) and Jordan Howard of the Chicago Bears (2015).

The running back position has always been a highly regarded spot across the history of IU Football, and through the years the Hoosiers have seen continuing dominance despite shifts in personnel.
