Why Ed Reed is the greatest ball hawk in NFL history

Ed Reed finished his career with 64 interceptions which is the seventh highest total in NFL history. Reed may not have the most interceptions of all-time, yet no player has more interception return yards. Reed made more out of his 64 picks than any player to ever play the game. Reed was a weapon for the defense. He practically played offense.

Reed had 1,590 interception return yards. That sounds more like a top running back’s season total than a defensive back’s career total. Reed had a 106 yard interception return and a 107 yard interception return.
