Emmanuel Reed wasn’t supposed to be able to rush for over a hundred yards.
Reed wasn’t supposed to be a Division I athlete.
At eight-years-old, Reed wasn’t even supposed to be a running back. But Reed has been proving critics wrong his entire life.
In youth football, Reed was too overweight to be a running back, too short to be a lineman, but too talented to be left off the field.
His three older brothers teased him, “You’ll be the smallest linemen ever.” What his brothers didn’t know is they were only motivating the young, small, overweight kid from Crestview, Florida.
