Edward E. Reed, Jr. is considered by many football analysts, coaches, and players as one of pro football’s greatest defensive players.

Reed was born on September 11, 1978, in St. Rose, LA. As a gifted athlete in high school, Reed was named all-state in football and won track championships in the 4×100 meters relay squad, long jump, triple jump, and was the Big East Champion in the javelin.

He attended college at the University of Miami on an athletic scholarship and graduated in 2001. Reed played four seasons for the Miami Hurricanes football team, winning the National Championship. Reed was a consensus First-Team All-American, National Defensive Player of the Year, and Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He was also a finalist for both the Jim Thorpe Award and Bronko Nagurski Award. He also continued his track and field career and was the Big East Champion in the javelin.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Reed with the 24th pick of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played free safety for the Ravens for 11 of his 12 professional seasons. Reed was a member of the 2013 Ravens team in Super Bowl XLVII. Among his numerous achievements as an NFL player, Reed was:

• 5-time First-Team All-Pro
