Reed has elite height and good size for an offensive guard standing at 6’6″ and 280 lbs. Displays good strength, solid explosiveness, and hand quickness. He is able to gain a latch on defenders and utilize his strength to turn them out of the gap and force them to the ground with good finish on his blocks. He also shows good anchor ability in pass protection with good use of hands to push defenders off balance in their pass rush. Reed has good upside as he continues to develop his game over the next couple of seasons.
