Steelers Scheduled To Interview Ra’Shede Hageman Tonight

Minnesota Defensive Lineman Ra’Shede Hageman has a formal interview scheduled with the Steelers tonight, according to Scout.com writer Jim Wexell. Hageman measured in at 6’6″, 310 lbs., and some of the longest arm measurements at 34 1/4.

The senior out of Minnesota is one of my favorite defensive linemen in this draft. He’s been described as “a terror to block” by some scouts, and shows flashes of greatness on tape. He also can play virtually any spot on the defensive line, but is of the mold of a Steelers 5 technique. Hageman tells coaches that he can play anywhere from 0-9 tech, but calls the 0 tech position “claustrophobic”.

Here are his stats of note in 2013: 38 tackles, 2 sacks, 13 tackles for a loss, 1 interception, 8 batted passes, and 2 blocked kicks. I look at Hageman as a late first, early second round prospect, but the Steelers scouting department might think otherwise.

Here are a couple of his games if you’d like to see him in action.
