Early life

[edit]

Ra’shede Hageman was born in Minneapolis with younger brother Xavier. Hageman traveled in, and out of various foster homes in Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, until being adopted at age 7. Hageman’s birth mother battled with alcohol and substance abuse and the birth father was never in the picture. In 1998 Ra’shede and his younger brother were adopted by lawyers Eric Hageman and Jill Coyle.

Hageman attended Washburn High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he played basketball and football. On the football field, he played tight end and as a senior he had 11 touchdown receptions. He was ranked by Rivals.com as the sixth best tight end recruit.[1]

College career

[edit]

Hageman received scholarship offers to play football from Nebraska, Florida, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, but opted to stay home and play for the University of Minnesota. Hageman moved to the defensive line as a freshman in 2009.[2] He was redshirted that year. As a redshirt freshman in 2010, he played in eight games making five tackles.[3] As a sophomore in 2011, he played in 12 games, recording 12 tackles and two sacks.[4] Starting all 13 games as a junior in 2012, he recorded 35 tackles and six sacks.[5]

Hageman was considered one of the top defensive tackle prospects for the 2014 NFL draft.[7][8] He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 37th overall in the 2014 NFL draft.[9] In his rookie season, he recorded 16 total tackles and one sack.[10]

In the 2015 season, Hageman recorded 27 total tackles and one sack.[11]

In the 2016 season, Hageman recorded 18 total tackles and two sacks.[12] At the end of the 2016 season, Hageman and the Falcons reached Super Bowl LI, where they faced the New England Patriots on February 5, 2017. In the Super Bowl, he had two total tackles as the Falcons fell in a 34–28 overtime defeat.[13]

On September 2, 2017, Hageman was placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List as a result of domestic violence-related charges filed by prosecutors in DeKalb County, Georgia, following a March 2016 incident.[14] He was later released by the Falcons on September 4, 2017.[15]

On April 19, 2019, Hageman was re-signed by the Falcons on a one-year contract after being out of football for two seasons and the domestic violence charge against him was dropped.[16][17] Not long after re-signing, it was announced that Hageman would be suspended for the first two games of the 2019 season due violating the league's substance abuse policy.[18] He was waived/injured from the reserve/suspended list on September 16, and subsequently reverted to the team's injured reserve list the next day.[19] He was waived from injured reserve on January 13, 2020.[20]

In 2022, Hageman was drafted by the Dayton Beach team of the American Patriot League (APL), which was scheduled to begin play in 2023.[21]
