D.J. Reed believes he’s an All-Pro caliber cornerback and he wants to prove it with his new team.

Reed will get his chance.

The Jets officially signed Reed to a three-year, $33 million contract on Thursday to be their No. 1 corner. The 5-9 Reed is coming in with some added motivation because he feels he’s been overlooked the last couple of years with Seattle.
