Congrats to David Reed!

I thought he had a good preseason and training camp. Please share your thoughts. I for one am looking forward to watching his development over the years.

well he beat Carolina's Steve Smith's records at Utah. I pray to the football god's that he can recreate the same results in the NFL.

Of all the rookies I really like what i saw from him the most.

wow...did not know that...only saw bits and pieces of him in pre-season games. 50% of Steve Smith would be good. I'm thinking we may see a lot of him on ST (KR PR)

[Alexir]

I KNEW he would make the team. He's Mason Jr with the routes. I think he was one of the greater steals of the draft. Cant wait to see these young weapons grow with JFlac.

Congrats Reed!!! Make it worth our while bro!

[scrock]

He's known to have excellent hands, and runs routes like he's a veteran. He'll get some good experience this year and maybe in the next year or so he can develop into a reliable target. Coming out of college they said he was a great target over the middle. So I imagine he would be our slot receiver.

[Milton145]

I know he's had some questionable drops but I'm telling you, once he gains confidence on the NFL level, he will be a beast and those drops will be far apart from each other.

[CorvusCorax]

Congratulations Reed!

I hope he performs well for the team. I know we could use some Ravens picked WR development. Let's hope it starts off well with Reed and Smith.

[berad]

Yeah, he had his fair share of drops. But his KR ability, his rookie status, and his potential saved him.

Hopefully he can improve throughout the season. Who knows - he may become very valuable for us.

I predicted Reed would be our number 4 2 weeks ago - I am also predicting that if Stallworth returns he will become the kickoff/punt return specialist and a third down receiver only. Reed is going to be much like Brian Brennan! A clutch go to guy!

[purple.n.black]

Yeah especially for still being young this guy will be great. I didn't know much about him when we got him, but he can be exciting to watch

[RavensAllTheWay]

Congrats to Reed and I'm really eager to see what he can do for us.

Yep the dude has some moves and speed-watch this guy step up big time!

[Marc2k6]

I knew we were going to keep this guy because of his special teams play and his wr ability over D. Williams who has seemed to be a one dimension player at doing nothing of any importance.

That and usually a guy that the Ravens draft in round 5 or earlier usually stays on the roster for at least a year. Unless your name is Davon Drew.

[BloodRaven]

I'm happy about this too, Reed has something special about him.

Off topic, I don't care if DWill is faster, he's about as useful to us now as he was his entire career.

[Graveking]

Yea i was I'm glad he made it the only disappointment was Curtis Steele not making it But i guess you cant get everybody

[justifythegame]

Didn't carolina's steve smith play CB in college?

I know a five letter word that will describe Reed by the end of the season--BEAST!

[CorvusCorax]

When DMase does retire, there will be some big shoes to fill. Hopefully Reed and/or Smith can fill those shoes.

OMG a positive remark! Could we get more of these instead?

[Milton145]

After watching the preseason games, I think some people may underrate David Reed's speed just a tad bit. Dude can run. Hopefully he catches opponents off guard with his speed.

[-Truth-]

The only question mark concerning him at the moment, in my opinion, would be his concentration when hauling in intermediate to long throws. There were 2 sideline passes in PS that hit him directly in the hands. But he's only a rookie, so at least he'll have some time to iron out the wrinkles. He could show some real promise down the Season.
