The 29 year old veteran offensive guard had a strong sole season in Indianapolis, with 6 starts during the 2021 campaign—and appearing in 14 games.
Per PFF (subscription), Reed was their 38th best graded offensive guard with a +67.2 overall grade—including a +69.5 run blocking grade. He was a major asset in opening up rushing lates for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor’s record-breaking season.
