gold star for USAHOF

Eric Reid

Best known for his solidarity with his San Francisco 49ers teammate, Colin Kaepernick, by kneeling during the National Anthem to protest police brutality, Eric Reid was a First Round Selection from LSU, who went to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

Reid never made the Pro Bowl again, but was a productive starter for the Niners in his first five seasons (2013-17), before signing with Carolina in 2018, where he played two seasons before he was arguably blackballed by NFL teams.  Considering he recorded a career-high 130 Tackles in 2019, in what was his final year, it does seem like a probable conclusion.
