How Good Was Ed Reed Actually?

71 percent of the earth is covered by water , the rest is covered by ed reed

The 🐐 at the safety position

His speech to his teammates at miami when he said "im hurt dawg" still gives me chills to this day

Him and Sean Taylor are the best safeties I’ve ever seen with my two eyes, I can’t speak on generations before that

I remember Billick once recalling how on certain playes Reed suddenly rushed towards positions he had no business going to, with great results most of the time, only to explain later how, watching a ton of film on the QB he was facing, he realized how in this or that situation he would consistently thros here or there... tendencies even coaches failed to pick up on... heck, probably even the QBs themselves :)

So glad he got his ring before having to call it quits. The best to ever play the position.

As a Steelers fan he is one of Hardest Hitting Safeties in NFL History Ed Reed will definitely will not be denied at all make no mistake about it just this sure he's one of a kind player there's no question about it

Ed Reed was on of the absolute BadAss Safety in NFL's History he was a impactful player 1st Round 24th overall draft choice by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2002 NFL Draft Former University of Miami Hurricanes a National Champion in 2001 he'd won a Super Bowl Championship in 2012 now a Pro Football Hall Of Famer 2:48

Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Ronnie Lott, Sean Taylor are just Special. Best I've ever seen by far... and Brian Dawkins, Rod Woodson, Steve Atwater, John Lynch, Darren Woodson, Rodney Harrison.

Best cover safety of all time, love watching him play

Ed Reed was unbelievable 💪🔥

The caption says how good that is an understatement. The man was amazing genius great at his craft iron sword.

Best safety I've ever seen - what a player.

Before watching: Me: Best free safety ever After watching: Me: Well.. hm.. best free safety of all time

I remember watching that draft and had no clue how he fell all the way to 24th. He was a stud at Miami. You knew he was destined to Canton!

you guys should do how good was charles woodson because he isnt talked about much and is my favriote player

Another aspect this video doesn't mention is how much a film room warrior he was. He watched tape like very few others. Once when asked what sets him and Ray Lewis apart of the rest, maybe the first thing he mentioned was how much they both spent in the film room watching and disecting game film either alone or with theammates. By the time a game came, many times they knew the tendencies of the opponent's palyers almost better than those players themselves. They could literally foresee how a play would happen.

I love going back to the older Madden titles and starting up a franchise just so I can play with him, Ray & Suggs. We haven’t seen anything close to that Baltimore defense since the legion of boom & I don’t think we ever will tbh

Ed Reed is what made me a football fan. He made me a Ravens fan. My first introduction to football was getting destroyed in madden constantly. Until I discovered the Ravens. I was unbeatable all because of Ed Reed. Ive been a Ravens fan ever since.

He had the physical traits...but his football IQ was off the charts. He would go at Manning and Brady and have them confused. Bait them into throws they shouldnt make. Saw him a lot being in Massachusetts. That is what I remember
