How brilliant has Jarran Reed been for the Seahawks this season?
Ask the best player on Seattle’s defense — heck, one of the best defensive players in the NFL — about Reed and he invokes the name of an iconic defensive tackle from the Seahawks’ best times, their recent Super Bowl seasons.
“He kind of reminds me how Mebane was,” All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner said Thursday, four days before Reed figures to have a pivotal role in the Seahawks’ home game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Brandon Mebane was the Seahawks’ perfect defensive tackle during their run of consecutive Super Bowls in the 2013 and ‘14 seasons.
