The greatest free safety of his time: Former Hurricane Ed Reed selected to Hall of Fame

During the AFC Championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots in 2011, television cameras zoomed in on the play-call wrist band Tom Brady was wearing on his left hand. And written on it in magic marker, presumably by the quarterback himself, were these words:

“Find 20 on every play.”

No. 20 for the Baltimore Ravens was Ed Reed. And the place he can be found for decades to come is the Pro Football Hall of Fame where his bust will become a permanent resident this fall.

Reed, the former University of Miami standout who was part of the 2001 national title team, was among five modern era enshrinees elected into the Hall of Fame Saturday afternoon.
