The Seattle Seahawks have been evaluating Jarran Reed as a potential nose tackle option. Reed, who was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, is a 6-foot-3, 307-pound defensive tackle out of Alabama. He has the size and strength to be a dominant force on the defensive line.
Reed has been a consistent contributor for the Seahawks since his rookie season. He has recorded at least 4 sacks in each of his four NFL seasons, including a career-high 10.5 sacks in 2018. He also has recorded at least 30 tackles in each of his four seasons, with a career-high 42 tackles in 2017. Reed is a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line and can be a great asset to the Seahawks’ defense.
The Seahawks have been searching for a nose tackle to anchor their defense for some time now. Reed could be the perfect fit for the role. He has the size and strength to clog up the middle of the line and disrupt opposing offenses. He also has the athleticism to make plays in the backfield and make an impact on every down.
Reed’s ability to play multiple positions on the defensive line makes him an even more attractive option for the Seahawks. He can play both nose tackle and defensive end, giving Seattle more flexibility when it comes to their defensive scheme. His versatility could be a major asset for the Seahawks.
Reed has proven to be a reliable and productive player for the Seahawks over the past four seasons. He has the size, strength, and athleticism to be an effective nose tackle for Seattle. The Seahawks should seriously consider Reed as an option to anchor their defense in 2020 and beyond.
