Ed Reed was blessed to have a strong father figure at home. I think his world would be a better place with more families like his.

@milesleslie8084 4 ай бұрын

Way more than just a story about a strong father. Ed needed a person from the school to literally help him pass high school. You don’t think it shows how those communities are so underfunded that typically a family/school can’t even push their kid to pass school. Dude talked about how his parents literally couldn’t be there cause they had to be gone all the time to just to provide

@brucee4634 4 ай бұрын

Indeed. He was also blessed to have some key people in his community circle that that stepped in to help him reach his potential. Sometimes it takes a village. Something was instilled in Ed Reed that gave him the drive and ambition to achieve and get past these obstacles. He could have easily taken a path into another way of life. Underfunding? That opens up a whole new conversation. Who is in charge of allocating funds, where does the money go in these towns and cities? @@milesleslie8084

But i always *ALWAYS* ahd mad respect for Ed Reed. Why? He wasnt a showoff or loudmouth like Lewis or Suggs. Dude just quietly went about his business and he did business right!!! Him and Troy Polamalu are the living embodiment of *KEN & RYU from STREETFIGHTER* cuz are virtually one and the same. Ed's a better deeper ball hawk than Troy is tho. Lol

I got to watch Ed and the 2001 Hurricanes obliterate my FSU squad in Tallahassee. In typical Ed fashion, he had 2 picks and blocked a punt recovered for a MIA TD. I think he got his fingertips on a couple other tipped passes too. It was obvious that even then, he had an uncanny knack for being around the ball, and I kept wondering "who the hell is that Reed guy?" At the time, I was fuming about the loss, but in hindsight, I'm really glad I got to see that game, because I got to watch the greatest safety of all time play football.

Eds dad loved his son but he knew ed needed more. Ed was most likely was his own worst enemy but he was smart enough to know he needed accountability for when he was alone. Ed was a little immature growing up. He was on the straight and narrow on the football field because of the lights and cheers, but he needed the encouragement on the other side of the ball.
