TRANSACTIONS
‣ ¾ Drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round (158th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.
PRO
A sturdy defensive tackle at 6-2, 306 pounds, Reid joined the Lions defensive line as a fifth-round draft pick in 2014 and
only the 14th player in Princeton history ever to be drafted in the NFL
2014: One of the few rookies among the Lions’ group of defensive tackles, Reid learned from one of the League’s most
dominant defensive units in 2014 and provided key depth to the defensive line unit as a whole. Finished his rookie campaign
with two tackles and one pass defense in the 12 games he played.
‣ ¾ Entered Week 1 vs. New York Giants (9/8) in a reserve role along the defensive line and contributed in a rotational role
throughout the first nine weeks of the season.
‣ ¾ Saw significant playing time in Week 9 vs. Atlanta (10/26) filling in for injured DT Nick Fairley.
COLLEGE
Started 37-of-40 games at Princeton, finishing his collegiate career with 168 tackles (75 solo), 20.5 sacks (135 yards),
one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, 10 pass defenses and one interception. Also recorded seven blocked kicks and
one safety during his time as a Tiger. Among active NCAA Football Championship Subdivision players, Reid placed 15th for
tackle-for-loss yardage (176), as well as 11th in sacks (20.5).
‣ ¾ Reid’s performance at Princeton earned him All-Ivy League honors three times in his five seasons, as he became only
the fourth Tiger to do so in a career and the first since Matt Evans (1996-98).
PERSONAL
Attended Mount St. Michael (N.Y.) Academy, where he was a two-time all-league selection as a defensive lineman. As a
senior and second-year team captain, Reid received all-city and all-state recognition and was the recipient of the school’s
Monsignor Matthew Peters student-athlete award.
‣ ¾ Majored in education with an interest in medicine at Princeton.
