Free-agent safety Eric Reid is a productive player and a definite starter in the NFL. His versatility and athleticism have proven to be a huge asset to the San Francisco 49ers defense since he was selected 18th overall in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Reid would have had a career high in total tackles if not for the PCL injury that caused him to miss three games in 2017. Reid has a knack of finding the ball carrier and arrives with a violent attitude.
Not only did Reid play about as good as he ever has as a pro in 2017, he did it all during a contract year that saw 2017 seventh-round NFL Draft selection Adrian Colbert come in and play light years ahead of where he was drafted.
