Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visits Baltimore
SFree Agent
April 13, 2025
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.
