John Reid Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks acquired cornerback John Reid from the Houston Texans on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2023, according to a source. It was initially reported that Houston outright waived Reid, but it looks like they were able to find a trade partner before going that route. Reid was a fourth-round pick last year and mainly was a special teams player for the Texans in his rookie season. The 25-year-old from Penn State had just 13 tackles (11 solo) and a pass defensed in 13 games (one start) in his rookie season in 2020. With Seattle, he'll merely serve as secondary and special teams depth.

The Houston Texans used the 141st overall pick in the NFL Draft on Penn State cornerback John Reid. Reid was a reliable outside corner in college, but a lack of size will likely lead to an inside role in the NFL. He plays sound off-coverage but has been effective in man-to-man schemes as well. Reid is a fast defender who should match up well in the slot at the next level, which was a need for Houston.
