‣ ¾ Pronunciation: car-AWN<br />

TRANSACTIONS<br />

‣ ¾ Drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round (158th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.<br />

PRO<br />

A sturdy defensive tackle at 6-2, 306 pounds, Reid joined the Lions defensive line as a fifth-round draft pick in 2014 and<br />

only the 14th player in Princeton history ever to be drafted in the NFL<br />

2014: One of the few rookies among the Lions’ group of defensive tackles, Reid learned from one of the League’s most<br />

dominant defensive units in 2014 and provided key depth to the defensive line unit as a whole. Finished his rookie campaign<br />

with two tackles and one pass defense in the 12 games he played.<br />

‣ ¾ Entered Week 1 vs. New York Giants (9/8) in a reserve role along the defensive line and contributed in a rotational role<br />

throughout the first nine weeks of the season.<br />

‣ ¾ Saw significant playing time in Week 9 vs. Atlanta (10/26) filling in for injured DT Nick Fairley.<br />

COLLEGE<br />

Started 37-of-40 games at Princeton, finishing his collegiate career with 168 tackles (75 solo), 20.5 sacks (135 yards),<br />

one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, 10 pass defenses and one interception. Also recorded seven blocked kicks and<br />

one safety during his time as a Tiger. Among active NCAA Football Championship Subdivision players, Reid placed 15th for<br />

tackle-for-loss yardage (176), as well as 11th in sacks (20.5).<br />

‣ ¾ Reid’s performance at Princeton earned him All-Ivy League honors three times in his five seasons, as he became only<br />

the fourth Tiger to do so in a career and the first since Matt Evans (1996-98).<br />

PERSONAL<br />

Attended Mount St. Michael (N.Y.) Academy, where he was a two-time all-league selection as a defensive lineman. As a<br />

senior and second-year team captain, Reid received all-city and all-state recognition and was the recipient of the school’s<br />

Monsignor Matthew Peters student-athlete award.<br />

‣ ¾ Majored in education with an interest in medicine at Princeton.<br />
