The most athletic play on Reed’s film. Outstanding effort here and a great display of Reed taking a smart angle to pursue Deshaun Watson towards the sideline.

Nothing fancy, Reed just does his job here. Holds up strong at the point of attack and makes the tackle on a run up the middle.

Nose tackles often have to deal with double teams. Jarran Reed needs to be more effective in those situations. More so as a pass rusher than in run support.

Great effort on consecutive plays in this clip. Reed making tackles a little bit downfield.

Nice move by Reed to disengage. He uses a pull technique, which takes advantage of when a lineman is leaning too far forward.
