Reed

Reed was the final pick in this year’s draft. He drew praise from coach Mike Mularkey during OTAs but obviously didn’t show enough to win a roster spot. The Southern Miss alum could return to the Titans’ practice squad if he clears waivers.

Mr. Irrelevant in last month’s draft, Reed has early-round athletic traits. He blazed a 4.49 forty with a 41.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-2 broad jump at his Pro Day after being a Combine snub. Mularkey noted that Reed has been around the ball a lot at OTAs. The rookie is fighting to make the Titans’ 53.

Reed (5'11/192) started three-plus years at Southern Miss, logging eight career interceptions and breaking a single-season school record for pass breakups (19) as a senior. A surprising Combine sub, Reed blazed 4.49 with a 41 1/2-inch vertical and 10-foot-2 broad jump at the Golden Eagles’ Pro Day. Experienced in both zone and man coverage, Reed was slept on during the pre-draft phase but has NFL-starter-level traits. Reed offers more NFL potential than the usual Mr. Irrelevant.
