Rise: #150 to #79

It doesn’t matter the position, Reid is one of the top steals in Wisconsin. The senior is definitely raw when it comes to the fine tuned parts of the game, but he offers so much potential and physical gifts that not many have. Tools like his elite length and 6’5″ frame. The big edge defender is excellent at run defense on the edge. He can win with speed into the backfield to make the TFL or Reid can stand up the OT and/or TE and then shed to make the tackle. As a pass rusher Reid’s first step has proven to be effective. He gets to the heels of the OT before they can get hands on him and from there it is an easy path to the QB. The natural gifts should have coaches lining up.
