Reaser, 27, is the cousin of Washington Redskins Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor, who died from gunshot wounds after his home was invaded in November 2007.
Taylor served as an inspiration to Reaser, as he explained in a draft diary written for USA Today in 2014.
“When you’ve seen somebody in your family do it, you know it’s possible. I’ve got that blood running through me. You know you have it in you. Everybody’s looking for me to keep it going. My mom, my dad — I would say most important would probably be my uncle, Michael Outar, because he was the one person that believed in me since I was younger, since I was a kid.
