Eric Reid

Eric is a product of LSU, where he finished his career as one of the top defensive backs in school history. Eric’s outstanding career led to him being showered with awards, including First- Team All-American honors. This outstanding playmaker received a ton of aDenEon from NFL scouts, in particular – the San Francisco 49ers who traded up in the draft in order to take the talented Safety as the 18th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Upon arriving in San Francisco, Reid wasted no time settling into the NFL and making an impact on a talented 49ers defense. Reid finished the season as the only player in the NFC to record four interceptions and two fumble recoveries. His aggressive style of play led to Eric finishing the season as the only 49ers rookie to be named to the Pro Bowl in franchise history.

Reid is a student of the game, who is constantly finding ways to get better. He is an amazing leader, who will serve as a standout for this year’s team. His love for the Bay Area, and the game of football make him a great addition to this year’s show.

Steve’s passion and knowledge of the game will bring a tremendous outlook to our show, that we truly look forward to.
