Many believe Ed Reed is the best safety in the history of the game. His contribution to the Baltimore Ravens franchise cannot be overstated. On Saturday, the NFL’s premier ballhawk will deservedly be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Baltimore Beatdown contributor’s tribute to the unforgettable Ed Reed:
Ed Reed’s my favorite football player of all time. He was a player I looked up to as a young child in Gillette, Wyoming. Hell, I imagined myself as Reed when I played backyard football with my friends. I dreamt of becoming an NFL safety who could lay the wood on a receiver, pluck the football from sure hands, and, most importantly, take it all the way back to the house while a stadium roars my name in unison.
