Jarran Reed wasn’t recruited by Alabama. He came in as a transfer from East Mississippi Community College before the 2014 season. But watching tape of him last year, you wouldn’t know it. He stopped the run as well as any five star recruit nationwide did. That disruptiveness in the middle has caught team’s eyes and made him a potential first round pick.
Recently, a report came out linking the Texans, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and San Diego Chargers as being interested in the Alabama product. This is curious because the Chargers are picking in the top five while the rest are picking 20th or later.
