30 tackles and 2 pass breakups. good run defender for a corner, team is 2-2
24 tackles, he's getting targeted a lot. ribs thing. lions are 2-1.
Reed could quietly become Detroit's most important defensive back. Buffalo exposed enough coverage problems that the Lions may have to lean heavily on him against top passing attacks.
Reed is one of those corners who plays bigger than his measurements. He competes on every route, tackles with real intent and gives the Lions a confident answer outside.
Strengths: Sticky coverage, physical tackling and veteran poise make him a high-level perimeter defender.
Weaknesses: Size can be an issue against towering receivers, especially when offenses create repeated jump-ball situations.
