As Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid prepares to play in the Bay Area for the first time since his time as a San Francisco 49er came to end following the 2017 season, he hasn't forgotten about what happened during his five-year run with the organization.
"Bitter? I wouldn't call it bitter," Reid told reporters on Wednesday, per The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. "I just don't forget."
Taken 18th overall in the 2013 NFL draft, Reid spent the first five years of his career in San Francisco. He quickly established himself as one of the best safeties in the league, earning a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2013.
