Ed Reed has three-letter reply to being ranked No. 4 safety of all time

Where does Ed Reed think he ranks among the best safeties of all-time? Apparently not No. 4.

Gil Brandt of NFL.com put together a list of how the greatest safeties stack up, and he placed Emlen Tunnell, Troy Polamalu and Ken Houston ahead of Reed. That prompted a short but candid response from the former Baltimore Ravens playmaker on Twitter: "Lol".

It's understandable why Reed feels slighted. He went to more Pro Bowls than Polamalu. He had more interceptions than Houston. And he had more interception return yards and touchdowns than Tunnell.

Many believe Reed is the greatest safety of all-time, and that includes someone ranked ahead of him on this list.
