Right

You ain't ever lied !!!!!!!

No wonder I cant catch dam

Lmfao

Definitely top 5 all time speeches in any sport

@dutchdinero9323 I totally agree...but as a diehard fan of The U I'm a little biased lol

I got the same flowers for Troy…all time greats..

This is a fact

Troy polamalu......Goat safety...not ed reed

@@jameswatsonv9506really 1A 1B. 2 different type of safety pick whoever you want. But Reed is definitely one of the goat

​@@baltimoremike9161if Bob Sanders stayed healthy where would you put him

didn’t they just explain all that shit in the video??

Troy?

troy was far better than sean, I am a ravens fan and can tell that long hair dude was a beast. sean wasnt on his level

We will never see that again. Football has changed and sadly it took the safety position with it.

@@NoFace-ke9pc My guy Kyle Hamilton bout to make a new trend of Great Safeties my boy will be among them if he has a healthy enough career! But yes to your point they don't make em like anymore!!!

@@mainetain15 ill keep my eye out for him

@@NoFace-ke9pc HArrison Smith on the Vikings has been elite the past 7-8 years

@@bavingates2502 he's been established since before the rule changes that will rob us of great defensive players

Facts One of the best DBs ever

Damn u old 😂

@@DchampionYM😭😭😭

​@@DchampionYMThat's petty lol

Damn you young 🤣🤣

The evolution of drafting left some decisions that were a bit wonky. In the earliest days of football scouts did it all by eye and by "having a feeling" then they started to go by archetype- super big fat guy goes here, very tall fast guy goes here, and if you dont meet that then you're out of luck, etc. and now they go by statistic prediction of multiple factors that arent just counting stats. Ed Reed fell foul of the latter two as he was not the "big and fast" safety (supposedly) and he did not have the projected numbers on things like his speed to make front offices think that he was going to grow into a dominant NFL players. In their defense, the best college players dont always translate to good NFL players, just look at Tebow. Like Reed himself said "they always say 'Ed Reeds small'" which was a huge fear of a lot of old-mentality GMs. So many players fall through the cracks because of fears that look at everything about a player that cant be fixed instead of focusing on how capable that player is of elevating themselves. The GMs that can see past that have made themselves into fan favorites and legends because of their ability to pick the gold out of the pile everyone else already walked past. This is what makes Ozzie Newsome such a legendary GM. He managed to merge the three styles, using stats and types to draw his attention but not as a reason to discredit someone, and then the years of experience to evaluate them personally before making a decision. The man just knew the qualities to look for especially in a players mind and was great at not getting distracted when he saw an exceptional talent. He drafted Ray Lewis And Jon Ogden in the same round(first) of the same draft(1996,) 4th for JO and 26th for Lewis. His track record is quite remarkable, the only real mistake he made was hiring Brian Billick and letting go of Trent Dilfer.

Its warm, its poor, the government is corrupt and keeps the opportunities for the people artificially low. So the kids play sports all year dreaming of a better life, and that's how you get some of the best. Just like Brazil and association football(soccer.)

I respect your honesty! Steelers fan from Compton love Troy but that man was on another level.

Fr this isn’t someone who is “slept on”. There’s a reason when the greatest safety of all time conversation comes up Ed is always one of the first 3 names.

Would love to see this. So many rules were put in place because of how he played.

I'd like to say they were put into place because he figured out how to be so effective they needed to stop him, but no. Its just that he was a garbage human being. It doesnt matter how intensely you play your sport, you dont try to paralyze people or permanently disfigure them. "It wasnt illegal" is a very weak defense, a lazy governing body does not equate to morality. Did everyone graduate from the Chase Utley school or something?

So good that Philadelphia PD was like nah that's Marvin Harrison, we ain't gonna charge him for a murder even though they matched the bullet casings from the scene to a gun Marvin Harrison owned.

Only thing I remember him for is claiming he could beat a wolf in a fight. He had a couple good seasons but meh overall

Facts and this is why we cannot trust EDC

@@darriuss4574 well considering Ozzie was the gm at the time, it’s sort of a team effort. Sometimes things just work out for you.

For what it’s worth, the 23rd pick in the 2002 draft was Napolean Harris and the 22nd was Bryan Thomas…

Tbf nobody knew Reed would become who he was. Not all talent is obvious. Look at Patrick Mahomes. He was extremely raw and wasn't even the most NFL ready QB in his draft. Now, look at him vs. the other QBs drafted the same year. None come close.

Did you watch the video?

No

​@@Madman33-nv8ht sean taylor fans are so annoying. His trajectory isnt close to reeds. He had to pass alot more before touching ed. Had alot of making up to do.

Extremely

Epic
