Snagged by Houston in sixth round
The Texans selected Reed in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 187th overall.
ANALYSIS
Reed spent his four-year college career at Penn State and played alongside Jaquan Brisker and Ji'Ayir Brown. Reed started in each of his last two years for the Nittany Lions, and in 2024 he led the team in tackles (98) and interceptions (three) while being named to the Second Team All-Big Ten. He has the speed and competitive urgency to cover a lot of ground in the passing game and thrive in blitz schemes. However, Reed also showed a tendency to miss some crucial tackles due to that speed and angle discipline, which could limit him to backup duties and special teams if he can't cut down on those mistakes at the NFL level.

Visits Baltimore
Reed had a visit with the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reed is likely to be drafted in the middle rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, with Dane Brugler of The Athletic giving the safety out of Penn State a fourth-round grade. Baltimore would be an intriguing landing spot for Reed, who posted 98 tackles and three interceptions at Penn State in 2024. The Ravens don't have a clear starter at free safety next to strong safety Kyle Hamilton.
