Ed Reed to officially retire during press conference Thursday at Ravens' training complex
By Aaron WilsonThe Baltimore Sun


Former Ravens safety Ed Reed will announce his official retirement Thursday during a press conference at the team's training complex, according to sources.

One of the top defensive players in NFL history, Reed is expected to be inducted into the Ravens' Ring of Honor.

The Ravens have announced they'll hold a press conference Thursday that includes general manager Ozzie Newsome, team president dikk Cass and coach John Harbaugh.

The Ravens have said previously they want to induct Reed, but wanted him to be officially retired before they take steps to do so.

Reed, 36, hasn't played in the NFL since the 2013 season.

Reed is a 2004 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and a nine-time Pro Bowl selection. He intercepted nine passes in 2004.

He was drafted in the first round by the Ravens in 2002 out of the University of Miami.

Reed played for the Houston Texans and New York Jets in 2013, but was out of the NFL last season and worked for Showtime on its Inside the NFL program.

He played 11 seasons for the Ravens before signing with the Texans and then the Jets.

Reed was a consensus All-American in college at Miami.

Reed scored 13 touchdowns with the Ravens on three blocked punts, one punt return, two fumble returns and seven interception returns.

For his career, Reed had 64 interceptions, 643 tackles, 11 forced fumbles and six sacks.







Goodbye to another one of the GOAT safeties :mjcry:



Him and Troy up there giving their speeches in Canton gonna be :banderas: in a few years.

Wake.
Damn @ me thinking he was already retired. Already completely forgot he played for the Texans or Jets.

Anyway I always say this but there was a 2 year period where I went HARD arguing he was the best player in the league...forget being only best defensive player.
