Meet the Prospect: Alabama DT Jarran Reed

As 49ers.com runs down the list of top prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, we continue our “Meet the Prospect” series with a disruptive run-stopper, Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

The Basics

We’ve already covered a few of the top interior defensive linemen in this year’s draft class: Louisville’s Sheldon Rankins and fellow Crimson Tide alum A’Shawn Robinson to name a few. Reed is ranked similarly to those two, and all three have first-round grades. Whichever prospect goes first on April 28 will have more to do with the preference of the team making the pick rather than one prospect being a clear-cut favorite.
