It was such a pleasure watching this dude on gameday. The way he was able to shut down and man the deep. Making quaterbacks fear throwing it deep or towards his general area at all. True mastermind.
The way the Ravens used to score on defense was unlike anything we've ever seen. The way they would pitch the ball back to open guys after fumbles and interceptions. Greatest Defensive Dynasty!
Nah that goes to Steelers maybe. Joe Green. Jack Ham, Jack Lambent, L.C. Greenwood, Mel Blount. But idk. No kidding the rivalry between the Steelers and Ravens
As a Browns fan I absolutely HATED that we had to see this dude twice a year 😭😭😭😭, but a talent like this you gotta just cherish and embrace every moment because we may never see anything like this again, So I thank you Mr. Reed it was a pleasure watching you torment my Browns for so many years 🤝
174 career games and 643 tackles (531 solo), intercepted 64 passes which he returned for 1,590 yards and 7 touchdowns, recorded 6 sacks, and 13 fumble recoveries. Also a 9 time pro bowler. Ed Reed is the GOAT.
I saw a piece one time showing TB12 and Bellichek looking at film together, Ravens being the opponent was incidental. It went something like this: BB: "You have to find number 20 on every play." TB12: "Yeah, I know." Both looking at film. BB: "See, he starts here, but at the snap he's already drifting there." TB12: "What's he doing there? That screws the whole play up." BB: "Yeah." TB12: "F@#$!"
Ronnie and Ed. The absolute best 2 safeties I have ever seen play. I'm only 37 but it's hard to dispute those guys. Hard hitters with deep coverage skills.
Cyber Wolf dude that's awesome. . I have been a hurricanes fan since I was a child I use to watch them in the Orange Bowl with my family all the time do me a favor if you do become a cane and play football. rally the team and beat the damn Seminoles for us. it's all about the U!!!
As a Raven fan, ANYTIME Ed was on the field you had a feeling something was going to happen. Truly one of the most exciting defensive players EVER to play the game. Even when he intercepted the ball you were still holding on to your seat because now was the return.
“I’ve told him to his face many times, 'You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,'" Polamalu told The New York Times in 2009. “We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."
Ed Reed? Sean Taylor? Are you guys both joking? Please look at the stat lines for Ronnie Lott. Ronnie is inarguably the greatest safety of all time. Taylor didn't have a long enough career to even be on the list. ua-cam.com/video/oNabfHVX4Vs/v-deo.html www.cheatsheet.com/sports/the-10-best-nfl-safeties-of-all-time.html/?a=viewall ua-cam.com/video/sZkLNWqEfic/v-deo.html
I'm really glad i was a part of the Era of football that produced the greatest players to ever play the game..ed reed...ray lewis....peyton manning....Barry sanders....randy moss....Marvin harrison...Tom brady....the list goes on
+Wes Hardin the point I was making is that in my life time I've gotten to see a lot of the greats play...I wasn't in anyway saying they played together. ....
I LOVE Ed Reed as a player. I loved watching him play & just think about that season when he missed the first six games of the season & still led the league in interceptions. Crazy
Laynebrock, since BAMA started winning under Saban , Julio Jones has been the best BAMA player to hit the NFL by far, with Amiri Cooper , being the next, For a team that win as much as they have, many of their players have fizziled in the NFL, especially the RBs, I wont even start with the WRS, RBs TEs, and other skilled players on that 2001 MIAMI TEAM that were ALL PRO, PRO BOWL players
Jon Sanchez all of those people ahead of them on that list are way way higher in number of games played. Ed Reed has much more interceptions per game and interceptions per season than all of them. Also he has one of the highest interceptions per playoff game stats in playoff history and the most interceptions in the playoffs in history tied with Ronnie Lott but with much fewer games.
My whole childhood right here. I grew up watching Ed Reed make amazing and unbelievable plays that had a huge impact on me. I will never forget you Ed Reed. One of my favorite players to ever play the game.
it is the fact he caused so many fumbles, recovers them himself, then proceeds to score off those fumbles. He stand out from all other safties by a long shot.
There may never again be another athlete as Physically, Mentally or Athleticly Dominant as Ed Reed was. He was fast, could intercept, could hit and is the best safety of all time.
Most Ravens fans love Ray Lewis but Ed Reed is my personal favorite Raven of all time.I miss having him in our secondary.It seemed like he picked off almost every deep pass that went against us and he had so much swag.He made so many critical plays for us.If I had the ability to grant eternal youth to any athlete it would him....or maybe Flacco because Flacco is my second favorite Raven of all time and finding another QB as good as Flacco is probably going to be a son of a bitch.
Nicholas Spearman the ravens defense was average the year they won their last super bowl. don't play Flacco. he and boldin are a large part of the success. Defense and special teams weren't that great in the AFC divisional game
I just gotta say, Ed Reed was great but this music made him EPIC!! Great song choice, idc what any one says, breaking Benjamin brings true hype no doubt about it 💪 go Ravens!! 🙌
The greatest Free safety to ever play. But serious great respect to all before and Ronnie Lott as well. But.. the greatest. Proud to say and grateful in this horrible lifetime that I got to watch Ed reed and ronnie lott in this lifetime. But #20. Thank you.🙏🏽💯
Always love the INT TD return against Philly when LJ Smith catches up to Reed and Nakamura puts out his hands for a possible pitch and Reed looks at him like "you really think I came all this way for ME not to score?" Lol
best safety ever. simply because he wasnt just a ballhawk who could land hits and intercept passes, but for the simple fact that he could return almost every interception for a td. he was also an amazing special teams player, both at blocking punts and returning.
A lot of people cite ray lewis as the greatest raven and from what he was as an emotional leader and outstanding player, it is hard to argue . however if tge chips were down or the game was close and you needed a big play in the clutch, you called #20
I basically live my life centered around Ed Reed and the #20. Throughout school to my own personal possessions is #20. My favorite player & Ravens of all-time!
Ed Reed was a god!!! No one better at FS. Ever! Im a stiller fan too. Ed just made it look 2 EZ. He musta spent countless hours studying other team's playbooks. Cuz he made it look like he already knew what was coming
As a Ravens fan, Ed Reed INTs were the best and scariest things. He loved to hold the ball way out and with just one hand... Needless to say, he fumbled quite a few INTs. That or he'd freakin lateral the ball! Terrifying! Looking back, you have to love him, even though I would scream at him to just hold the damn ball right!
I'm a huge pats fan, but please don't delete this vid again, it's definitely worth keeping up. He had the upmost respect for Bill and Tom. Favorite safety to ever play. & the 2 songs couldn't be better. You did a good job
always thought he was a safety but after watching this video i’ve realized he’s just a defensive wide receiver with the amount of touchdowns and interceptions he’s had
Watch the highlight from 5:05-5:29. Reed gets an escort to ends zone by three players. Don’t who 22 is but the other players are Ray Lewis #52 and Terrel Suggs #55. Lewis, Suggs & Reed are the best defensive trio ever. And they’ll all be in the HoF

Both of those defenses were great, I agree. But something about those '85 bears.
The 76 Steelers then the 85 Bears
Chris Scully don’t forget the Big Blue Wrecking Crew
They were great defenses. For a single season, the Ravens of 2000 were unparalleled. Period.
It's crazy how good he was. He has so many jaw dropping plays that current players make once in their careers.
As a Browns fan I absolutely HATED that we had to see this dude twice a year 😭😭😭😭, but a talent like this you gotta just cherish and embrace every moment because we may never see anything like this again, So I thank you Mr. Reed it was a pleasure watching you torment my Browns for so many years 🤝

Qbs feared throwing at his direction. The best safety of all time.
Tom Brady feared Ed Reed. He doesn't fear many
I saw a piece one time showing TB12 and Bellichek looking at film together, Ravens being the opponent was incidental. It went something like this: BB: "You have to find number 20 on every play." TB12: "Yeah, I know." Both looking at film. BB: "See, he starts here, but at the snap he's already drifting there." TB12: "What's he doing there? That screws the whole play up." BB: "Yeah." TB12: "F@#$!"
i was boutta say that he studied he was always on the grind when you study greats you become a great
It was just throwing in general cause if the ball was tipped then he was almost always there
Ronnie and Ed. The absolute best 2 safeties I have ever seen play. I'm only 37 but it's hard to dispute those guys. Hard hitters with deep coverage skills.
Being a steelers fan it's hard to not appreciate Ed Reed. Easily one of the best to ever do it
Patrick b The U baby
Daniel Berrios I'm a cane of the future
Cyber Wolf dude that's awesome. . I have been a hurricanes fan since I was a child I use to watch them in the Orange Bowl with my family all the time do me a favor if you do become a cane and play football. rally the team and beat the damn Seminoles for us. it's all about the U!!!
Daniel Berrios I will and I play free safety I hit like Sean Taylor but I move like Ed reed and I'm loud like dawkins
Daniel Berrios and I'm a leader
As a Raven fan, ANYTIME Ed was on the field you had a feeling something was going to happen. Truly one of the most exciting defensive players EVER to play the game. Even when he intercepted the ball you were still holding on to your seat because now was the return.
even as a steelers fan i think i can agree with that. Ed is the GOAT
@@2017_Football_Edit_Goddie hard ravens fan here, polomalu was an absolute nightmare, he belongs in everyone’s top 5 safeties ever list
You would think this was a receivers highlights with all the interceptions
Lol reed was a WR , just the opposite team threw it right to him
Nope he safety
nikon d3200 ur an idiot u missed the joke
@nikon d3200 r/ whoosh
Almost brought a year to my eye I miss the good old days.
“I’ve told him to his face many times, 'You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,'" Polamalu told The New York Times in 2009. “We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."
Don Kennard wow never knew that, thanks
I never knew Polamalu said that...✌️🏈
Thank you for the Ed Reed Showcase. Awesome player - He was an exceptional talent and my favorite Raven!
We will miss you Ed Reed. Truly the greatest safety to ever play in the NFL. #RavensNation
Sean Taylor
ken cunningham Sean Taylor was a great safety and may God rest his soul, but he didn't play long enough to be the G.O.A.T.
+Jon Sonnenleiter true that
Ed Reed? Sean Taylor? Are you guys both joking? Please look at the stat lines for Ronnie Lott. Ronnie is inarguably the greatest safety of all time. Taylor didn't have a long enough career to even be on the list.

Andrew Hall that list is absolute shit. A top 10 safetys list and Brian Dawkins doesn't make the cut.
Best safety hands down! Got a chance to get his autograph in the Atl. at a local Lowes store. Real down the earth and humble!
I'm really glad i was a part of the Era of football that produced the greatest players to ever play the game..ed reed...ray lewis....peyton manning....Barry sanders....randy moss....Marvin harrison...Tom brady....the list goes on
Barry sanders?
Yea...I'm 35....i got to watch Barry sanders play football
+hail2redskins1 yeah but sanders is before all those guys. he retired when the others were just starting
+Wes Hardin the point I was making is that in my life time I've gotten to see a lot of the greats play...I wasn't in anyway saying they played together. ....
+hail2redskins1 I know but I thought it was weird you mentioned Barry Sanders and players from the 2000s and not more players from the 90s
I got chills watching the ball hawk do his thing. one of the greatest
i miss ed reed so much
if you mute the soundtrack you can put any music on that you like. He just navigates the field so swiftly. What a talent.
thats what i do
Samarastube the music was gold in my opinion
I LOVE Ed Reed as a player. I loved watching him play & just think about that season when he missed the first six games of the season & still led the league in interceptions. Crazy
that 2001 Miami team the best assembly of talent ever
it's all about the U
for real miami teams in the whole 2000s was crazy
Kiwanis Hinton Wait 15 more years to make that assessment...give this Alabama team some time ;)
Laynebrock, since BAMA started winning under Saban , Julio Jones has been the best BAMA player to hit the NFL by far, with Amiri Cooper , being the next, For a team that win as much as they have, many of their players have fizziled in the NFL, especially the RBs, I wont even start with the WRS, RBs TEs, and other skilled players on that 2001 MIAMI TEAM that were ALL PRO, PRO BOWL players
Kiwanis Hinton right
True definition of a ball hawk
Best free safety ever. True definition of a "ball hawk".
he's like 5th all time in INTs and like 4th all time in defensive TDs. You CAN'T be a true definition of a ball hawk if you're that far down the list.
+Jon Sanchez top 5 is far down the list?
+Jon Sanchez what counts as a ball hawk only top 3?
Lavoi Wilder my point is everytime people speak of "ball hawk" automatically his name comes to mind. How so if there's 4 people ahead of him??
Jon Sanchez all of those people ahead of them on that list are way way higher in number of games played. Ed Reed has much more interceptions per game and interceptions per season than all of them. Also he has one of the highest interceptions per playoff game stats in playoff history and the most interceptions in the playoffs in history tied with Ronnie Lott but with much fewer games.
i aint goin lie this one of the best sports highlights i ever seen
My whole childhood right here. I grew up watching Ed Reed make amazing and unbelievable plays that had a huge impact on me. I will never forget you Ed Reed. One of my favorite players to ever play the game.
E.D. Reed boy! Best safety you ever seen boy!
- Pat Mcafee
Best safety of the 2000's, and one of the greatest to ever play.
There should be an Ed Reed award in the NFL. Awarded to the best ball hawk.
it is the fact he caused so many fumbles, recovers them himself, then proceeds to score off those fumbles. He stand out from all other safties by a long shot.
Ed reed is the perfect mix of Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor
Best FS in NFL history 💯💯💯
No fly zone with anti missile defense was who Ed Reed was.
One of the few defensive players that you could bet on scoring a couple touchdowns every year. One heck of a player.
Him and Ray Lewis were so good together they really made the Ravens defense a major threat in the NFL
Ray used to hit. Reed was the big play guy. He scored on defense and stopped scores. The MVP of the defense. The greatest Raven !!
I love how Ed Reed would always try to return an interception for a touchdown. Even if he caught it in the back of the opponents endzone.
Insane the number of plays this guy made!
Best Free Safety to ever play
*Strong Safety
+Eduardo Vicente *Free Safety.
Messier90 won dpoy as a ss
He has played both positions...
7:16 - Love how the music syncs w that INT
There may never again be another athlete as Physically, Mentally or Athleticly Dominant as Ed Reed was. He was fast, could intercept, could hit and is the best safety of all time.
can't deny greatness
Love the music choice to go with this. My favorite player of all time🤘🏽
watching this video like.. that Malik right there!!! Such amazing instinctive plays, just having fun and so hype! i love this.
Most Ravens fans love Ray Lewis but Ed Reed is my personal favorite Raven of all time.I miss having him in our secondary.It seemed like he picked off almost every deep pass that went against us and he had so much swag.He made so many critical plays for us.If I had the ability to grant eternal youth to any athlete it would him....or maybe Flacco because Flacco is my second favorite Raven of all time and finding another QB as good as Flacco is probably going to be a son of a bitch.
Now we have weddle which still can't compare
True but Weddle makes the pain of Ed being gone a little more bearable
MUSICHUSTLA flacco isn't that good at all if it wasn't for Ravens defense he would be ringless
Nicholas Spearman the ravens defense was average the year they won their last super bowl. don't play Flacco. he and boldin are a large part of the success. Defense and special teams weren't that great in the AFC divisional game
+Bsgrundle Don't forget Jacoby Jones' contributions.
The greatest safety and one of the best players ever.
I just gotta say, Ed Reed was great but this music made him EPIC!! Great song choice, idc what any one says, breaking Benjamin brings true hype no doubt about it 💪 go Ravens!! 🙌
my all time favorite from the ravens then he was gone.........
I miss ed reed and ray lewis
That's the first thing that popped into my head when the video started. It makes it kinda hard to watch.
+Randy Davis Agreed
The greatest Free safety to ever play. But serious great respect to all before and Ronnie Lott as well. But.. the greatest. Proud to say and grateful in this horrible lifetime that I got to watch Ed reed and ronnie lott in this lifetime. But #20. Thank you.🙏🏽💯
Im sorry but hes my starting FS on my all time defense
DMOB79 Not Sorry Smart 💯
Don’t be sorry
who the hell dislikes a ed Reed video
All the Browns quarterbacks he picked off haha
+Mike Vaz Lol
bitch nighas thats who
Derek Anderson
Kevin Kolb
If you had Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Rod Woodson, and Deion Sanders in your backfield then I guarantee you'd never get scored on again
Champ in the slot
@@ReemoTheCeo night train*
Gotta run nickel now so throw in Charles Woodson too haha
Always love the INT TD return against Philly when LJ Smith catches up to Reed and Nakamura puts out his hands for a possible pitch and Reed looks at him like "you really think I came all this way for ME not to score?" Lol
😁🏈😁🏈😂✌️
Pats fan but really enjoyed the talented Reed. Amazing player.
Bill Belichick thought the world of Ed Reed... So did Brady. When those two men planned their games around Ed, you know he was good...✌️🏈🙂
best safety ever. simply because he wasnt just a ballhawk who could land hits and intercept passes, but for the simple fact that he could return almost every interception for a td. he was also an amazing special teams player, both at blocking punts and returning.
Music fit the video well
Ed Reed is the best safety of all time.
He doesn't even get told what to do or who to cover. He just sits out there and plays safety. Dope
You know that ball hit hard as hell when he blocked punts
Amazing tribute!
A lot of people cite ray lewis as the greatest raven and from what he was as an emotional leader and outstanding player, it is hard to argue . however if tge chips were down or the game was close and you needed a big play in the clutch, you called #20
im a big ravens fan so im so glad you made this.liked
This guy was a total package player. He could play the pass run and return the ball for TDs
Ed Reed was so good, Sean Taylor sat the bench behind him in college.... enough said.
This dude rocked. Wish he played for the pats
Truly the greatest.
As a Steelers fan I always respected and feared this man
Greatest play maker ever Ed Reed#20
Bodymore MD
ever? there's more to come. but he is one of the greats.
I miss watching him live what a beast
The reason why I became a Ravens fan back then was because of Reed and Lewis and now they're gone :'(
Tim Jørgensen fucking same man.. I’m from Missouri and the ravens were my favorite team. Went to a couple games at M&T even.
Bandwagon fan
The best safety of all time #RavensFlock 😈😈
Best compilation i've seen!
This is magnificence.
That was one harding hitting man right there. One thee best!!
r we here for the music or here bcuz we wanted to remember why @Edreed was 1 of the best safety of all time💯💯💯💯smh......Go Ravens!!!!
I remember the first song from one of the og nascar games. I don't even like nascar anymore but I'd play that game over and over again
Adam Mihulka Nascar 07. I used to play that game all the time
One of the best RAVENS ever! Better than troy for the Steelers!
no
jumplikejordan1 troy is one of the best strong safeties ed reed is the best free safety to ever play
Ndudi Enwereuzor can't compare these 2 different positions
Keith Turner both safeties, so WHO CARES?
Ndudi Enwereuzor troy was ok but ed reed was on point. i would hate to throw in his direction.
I basically live my life centered around Ed Reed and the #20. Throughout school to my own personal possessions is #20. My favorite player & Ravens of all-time!
remember that boi had a U on the side of his helmet! One of the best, but the ultimate has to go to Sean Taylor! Rip brother! Forever the U!!
This man covered the whole field. SAVAGE
one of my role models
+Ronix Bhandari My son's middle name is Reed ( named after him)
Him & Ray Lewis was the reasons why I was a Baltimore fan
Best safety of this era
not better than dawkins #faxx
+Kelvin Bellamy u crazy
Kelvin Bellamy L
Boy no. He's better than Dawkins
not better than Charles Woodson
Ed Reed was a god!!! No one better at FS. Ever! Im a stiller fan too. Ed just made it look 2 EZ.
He musta spent countless hours studying other team's playbooks. Cuz he made it look like he already knew what was coming
As a Ravens fan, Ed Reed INTs were the best and scariest things. He loved to hold the ball way out and with just one hand... Needless to say, he fumbled quite a few INTs. That or he'd freakin lateral the ball! Terrifying! Looking back, you have to love him, even though I would scream at him to just hold the damn ball right!
I'm a huge pats fan, but please don't delete this vid again, it's definitely worth keeping up. He had the upmost respect for Bill and Tom. Favorite safety to ever play. & the 2 songs couldn't be better. You did a good job
And Reed is BB's favorite safety. Even as a Ravens fan, it'd be nice to see a world where Ed was drafted by him, it'd have been crazy
Dame this dude was amazing
I love Ed reed
always thought he was a safety but after watching this video i’ve realized he’s just a defensive wide receiver with the amount of touchdowns and interceptions he’s had
#20 was the best free safety the Ravens ever had I miss watching him play
I think what made him even better is that no matter what he had a blast plying, it wasn't always business.
I saw your video on vince wilfork and loved it, good work
Ed Reed, Deion Sanders, Ray Lewis All Defensive Players of the year Ravens from my home town Baltimore, Md
Popular Grove& Edmondson Ave. Crew. 7/10/17
Thank you for making a highlight video that doesn’t have foul mouthed rap the whole time
it was my pleasure watching you in section 515 through out your career! GOAT #raven nation
Watch the highlight from 5:05-5:29. Reed gets an escort to ends zone by three players. Don’t who 22 is but the other players are Ray Lewis #52 and Terrel Suggs #55. Lewis, Suggs & Reed are the best defensive trio ever. And they’ll all be in the HoF
thank you so much for this
+wastingstarling You're welcome, i hope you enjoyed it
this video dope asf Ed reed is a amazing safety real talk
The GOAT 🐐
pause at 0:09. Miami Hurricanes fans like me are proud. Never forget where you come from
