NFL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

Began the 2020 season on the non-football injury list and missed the first six games of the season. In his season debut, recorded an interception off his former team, the 49ers, and added one more during the season. Saw time starting at right and left corner, became the team's nickel and also provided a spark in both the punt and kickoff return game.
Reed has appeared in 31 games over the past two seasons (2018-19), starting two, and has 45 tackles, two passes defensed, one sack, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery that he returned for a 5-yard score (vs. Arizona, 11/17/19). Also added nine special teams tackles.

COLLEGE:

Having zero offers from a Division I school out of high school, Reed walked on at Fresno State for one season before transferring to Cerritos College (Norwalk, Calif.). At Cerritos, he lived in a two-bedroom apartment with seven other teammates and split time sleeping on the couch and the floor. He then transferred to Kansas State, where he played under head coach Bill Snyder for two seasons and went on to earn All-America honors. A team captain in 2017 at Kansas State, he started all 11 games at cornerback, while also handling a majority of the return duties en route to being named a second-team Walter Camp All-American. Was the third Wildcat kick returner in the last four years to earn All-America status (Morgan Burns in 2015, Tyler Lockett in 2014). Averaged 34.2 yards on 17 kickoff returns to rank third in school history and fourth in Big 12 history, while the mark was second in the nation and tops in the Big 12 during the 2017 season. Held a 14.9-yard average on punt returns to tie for sixth in school history, rank second nationally and lead the Big 12. Finished sixth on the team with 47 tackles to go along with 4.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions, nine pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.

PERSONAL:

Played at Independence High School. Earned all-league honors for two-straight years. Totaled six interceptions and five forced fumbles, while he amassed 1,150 total yards and 13 touchdowns on offense. Became first person in school history to earn team MVP honors in both football and basketball. Majored in history.
