The greatest ball-hawking safety in NFL history — Ed Reed's 64 career interceptions, extraordinary instincts and record-breaking 358-yard return total define the modern safety position.
Ed Reed is considered the most complete and instinctive safety in NFL history. His 64 career interceptions are the third-most all-time, but his interception return yardage total of 1,590 yards is the NFL record by a significant margin. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Baltimore Ravens. His ability to read quarterbacks and disguise coverages was described by offensive coordinators as almost supernatural.
His career interception return yardage of 1,590 yards is so far ahead of any other player that no current active player is projected to challenge it.
