I’m pretty sure he just thanked Coach Belichick instead of Coach Billick.

He and Belichick have long admired each other
He probably meant it

Hell of a player. Shame LSU couldn’t snag him back in the day.

Best safety I've ever seen

I agree. Lott is the only one that comes close, IMO.

Lott was better

No.
Ed Reed is the greatest defensive football player ever

Sean Taylor had the potential to be I think. His ability was exceptional.
no doubt Reed is the best though.

Did he go in as a Texan?

Ricky Jackson over Ray Lewis, Mike Singletary, Ronnie Lott, and most especially Bruce Smith? Unless this is a favorite list.

Rod Woodson was a beast as well.
its crazy how Pat Swilling won DPOY in '91 i think it was. Not that he didn't deserve it or anything but playing on the opposite of Jackson no doubt had something to do with it.
Frank Warren was also a good interior guy that helped free them both up on the outside.

Apparently they did, but didn't fight for him after he orally committed to Miami.
‘I was a 2 star’: The true story of the surprisingly unheralded recruitment of Ed Reed
quote:
About 15 schools offered scholarships to Reed while he was at Destrehan High School in Louisiana. A few SEC teams, like the LSU Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels, made an offer to the defensive back. Most of his list was filled with smaller in-state programs like Tulane or even schools from the Southland Conference, which was part of Division I-AA at the time.
quote:
There were question marks, anyway. He was only about 5-10 or 5-11 coming out of high school with about a 4.6-second time in the 40-yard dash. The measurable athleticism wasn’t exactly there even though he was a four-sport athlete — an All-State star in football, a 20-point scorer in basketball, a legitimate professional baseball prospect and a state finalist in track and field.
quote:
The modern star system was still years away when Reed committed to Miami. Recruiting coverage was localized with each city’s newspaper chronicling commitments and producing its own rankings.
The Times-Picayune, which has since become The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate, was the local authority at the time and the players atop its recruiting rankings were always the ones LSU wanted most. The Advocate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, didn’t include Reed in its Super Dozen for the Class of 1997, instead placing him in the Second Dozen.
When Reed orally committed to Miami, Martin told him to tell the assistant coach recruiting him to Baton Rouge. Martin finally spoke with the coach, whom Martin declined to name, after National Signing Day.
“Well, you know, Coach, Miami’s probably a great place for him,” Martin remembered the Tigers’ assistant telling him. “I’m not sure he’s an SEC defensive back.”
LSU's loss right there.
