Edward Earl Reed Jr. (born September 11, 1978 in St. Rose, Louisiana) is an American football free safety for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Ravens 24th overall in the 2002 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Miami.

In his career, Reed has been selected to six Pro Bowls, was the 2004 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and holds the NFL record for the longest interception return (107 yards in 2008). He is considered one of the most dominant safeties currently playing in the NFL and is often referred to as a "ball hawk." Since entering the league, Reed has been known to study film to memorize opposing teams' tendencies and his habit of baiting quarterbacks into throwing interceptions has also earned him recognition throughout the league.
