New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed – formerly of the Seattle Seahawks – was quietly one of the most productive cornerbacks in the NFL during the 2021 season. Reed allowed 0.63 yards per cover snap, ranking sixth-best out of 96 qualified corners. That performance was good enough to earn him a three-year, $33 million contract from New York in free agency.
Reed capped off his stellar 2021 campaign with a dazzling showcase in Seattle’s Week 18 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He solidified himself as an excellent starting cornerback through a dominant performance that showed off all of the things that made him so good in coverage throughout the year.
