Ed Reed, Hall of Fame career, family, loss, coaching & Ravens return to Super Bowl?
Super Bowl Champion Ed Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowler, six-time All-Pro, the 2004 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and NFL Hall of Famer, shares with Ryan, Channing and Fred, that despite all his top accomplishments, football is not about the individual, but about team and how that mentality shaped his life.
Growing up in Louisiana, Ed shares a similar football path to Ryan and he talks how most people don’t make it out of where and how he grew up so he never took his opportunities for granted and kept his focus on football and leading by example. Looked up to man greats who he watched play before him and how Deion Sanders was instrumental to him to see how hard he worked and committed he was at all stages of his career.
Many view Reed as the greatest safety of all time, but his journey off the field is spotlighted during this episode as he opens up and shares how certain moments tested him as a man and how football became the greatest medicine to pain. After the loss of his brother, Ed reflected on how important lessons are in life, especially when it comes to being able to help others.
Discussing certain coping mechanisms of life stress and pain associated with playing the game, Ed talks about drug use being frowned upon during his era vs now as it seems it’s more accepted but more abused. Fred asks Ed if he would be the same player in the game today with all the rule changes to a quick response of yes and may be even better.
As the guys reminisce of their playing days, Ed says how facing each of them in AFC battles forced him to work harder as He knew games against the Steelers and Dolphins would always come down to which defense could make a stop.
Reed’s journey is not just about who he became, but the people he worked alongside. In discussing his biggest pivot, he points to how training with a key group of teammates helped keep him on the path to greatness and fully understand the sacrifice that comes with being the best.
While speaking about his Super Bowl run and Hall of Fame induction, Ed praises his coaches and teammates who helped him reach where he is today. He even reveals how he tried to give up his Hall of Fame spot to someone he looked up to who wasn’t in Canton yet.
Reed has played on legendary teams, but the 2000 Miami Hurricanes may go down as the one he points to as top tier and confidently says the group was the best squad and could beat any college team ever, Channing talks about what made The U so special and become known for the game’s top talent.
Before wrapping, Ryan asks his thoughts about the current Ravens team and if they are Super Bowl bound, Reed sees something special in Lamar Jackson but says it will take a whole team and city effort to win the Lombardi Trophy.

Hearing Ed give Ryan his flowers is dope to see.💯
Ed Reed’s football IQ is so insane. He talks about super complex things in such a simplistic way. Like it’s all light work to him 😂😂😂. A one of one!!!
Ed Reed is a football savant. He still remembers the plays he made and why he made him like yesterday.
I've been watching the Pivot Podcast since they started , and as I'm sitting here watching this episode I'm saying to myself the fact they can collectively do this and there be no egos involved is amazing. Definitely a fan of not just the show but the fellas showing that men of the culture can work together and have a positive impact without egos or one trying to be bigger then the other🙏🏾💪🏾
And they’re not faking it, that’s the best part 👌🏻
I completely agree
facts!
@@joelcastellanos1330 exactly 💯percent authentic
Couldn't have said it any better sir, completely agree.
Crazy hearing the opening comments how Ed can still tell us what Dolphins were doing 15 yrs ago
It's actually a pretty known video of Ed getting interviewed after the game & Roasted Cam Cameron for how easy our offense was for him to read.
I lived it. Lol
Plus it was a playoff game.
@@CSpadthe playoff game was 2008 with Sparano and Dan henning as OC…those two picks by Reed were insane
Its the fact he remembers the coverage, nicknames for routes and etc. he didnt even hesitate about the story
Ed Reed was a super elite defensive player he should know all those plays...im not suprised the greats know that stuff in their sleep
As a Steeler fan of 45 years,thanks to Mr. Reed for sharing. Full respect as a player and a man.
Yes Sir, And the best part was when He said: Troy asked me: What are you looking at on the field and Ed said: You Troy, I'm looking at you! Flower giving moment. Iron really sharpens Iron! Love this.
As much as I hated the Steelers, only 2 Steelers I would ever accept on the Ravens, Big Ben and Troy. Respect.
Hands down the the smartest safety to ever played the game of football 🏈
He was like a kid playing sandlot football
Best safety to ever play!!🦾
Never, 2nd best to Brian Dawkins
Troy and him are 1A 1B. Please don’t disrespect Troy.
@@ILoveGod320he got double the picks Troy got. Ed and Ronnie top 2
@@Ortiz.familyb Dawk behind Ed, Ronnie and Troy
Ed Reed has a lot of knowledge of the game enjoyed this interview. Somebody give the guy another chance to coach the game.
🐐
I pray he goes to CU with Coach Prime
@@luvthosewholuvu8097 Prime provided a terrible head coaching example that he attempted to follow and should now hire him
@@luvthosewholuvu8097 that would be soo DOPE! Sapp is already signed on as a D-line coach...
As a Steeler fan I felt so blessed to watch guys like Ed, Ray, T-Sizzle, Ngata, Elvis, etc. go to war with my boys. Physical battle of heated rivals fueled by respect. I love Troy but Ed was truly the best.
Same
30+ year old lifelong Steelers fan here. I remember the 90s, The Bus, Hines, & even more recently our juggernaut offense with the Killer B's.. But what I recollect most vividly & fondly are the Steelers & Ravens absolute defensive gurus battling 2-3 times a year throughout Ed & Ryan's era's.
I know it’s still a “rivalry” but just has not been the same since all of those guys stopped playing. Miss those days. Even if you weren’t a fan of either team you still wanted to watch that game
As die hard ravens fan hearing you say “Ed was truly the best” is probably the nicest thing I’ve ever heard. If I’m being honest the 3 B’s should have won a SB
Drunk asf troy owns ed reed
Ed Reed & Ryan Clark being in the same class is hilarious lol. Ryan looks 20 years younger 😂😂😂
I was just thinking the same thing. Lol
You know Ryan keeps his hair "fresh" for the camera!
Ed look like wisdom 🤣
Ray Lewis had a Reed in the film room, why you think the greatest quarterbacks to ever play our game are scared to throw to him.
Ed reed looking like he 25 years older than what he actually is. Acts like it too
I love that Ed Reed finally got speak on it..and his journey., history, another icon ...👏🏽👏🏻👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿Let's go THE PIVOT!!!🏆🏆🏆
I don’t think they’ll ever be another player like Ed Reed. A true one of a kind football player.
Would love to see Ray Lewis or Shannon Sharpe as a guest! As always another great episode that showed many sides of ed reed appreciate the content keep it up!
I'm waiting for that Shannon Sharpe interview for sure.
We see Shannon enough I’ll pass
@@phillybound3351 I don’t think nobody interviewed him about his life story from our culture. Nobody can get enough of Unc.
@@LikthaDoNN that fruit is not your unc bro
@@phillybound3351 you have a whole playlist of king von on your profile. That must’ve been your homeboy?
My mom met him and his wife while he was in Ft.Worth, getting his knee looked at. He wasnt in a great mood but was still nice and respectful to her....never forget that. Much respect
Ed Reed is married?
You see Ed like look into the air when describing a play and it’s like he can pull up and watch the play in his mind in real time. That’s incredible.
Him and Ray were the reason I became a Baltimore Ravens fan as a kid. 💯💯💯
ED if you want to coach. You can always take the job at Morgan, Bowie or Umes. All HBCU in Maryland. You are loved in this area. There is a history of Ravens/Baltimore Colts coaching at Bowie.
SHIDDDDD, He can come to My Alma Mater SC State. We need him Badly! Our HBCU will roll out the RED CARPET for this Hall Of Famer! YES SIR!
@@MrJimmydean1And y’all would be foolish. But your school has better sense than that and they are on the verge of making an excellent hire, a proven winning coach with all the qualifications he needs. It’s time out for giving folks opportunities they later disrespect he better ask his Alma mater for a job.
@@KJ-tf3vilet them white boys coach the HBCU's blacks love hating on each other anyway 😂😂
@@KJ-tf3viStay outta man business plz
@@KJ-tf3vi nope let him go coach at the U
Ed Reed play maker in a multitude of ways. Dangerous man. The Steelers/Ravens rivalry best of the era. As good as 70’s Steelers/Raiders. Legendary get PIVOT.
I would love to see the Steelers defense and the Ravens defense get together on the pivot as many that can get together that would be something to see
Ed is simply country old school. Very rare today
I am endlessly inspired by people that are the masters of their craft. Like the teachers teachers. The Serena Williams, the Michael Phelps, the Tiger Woods etc. It's something about hearing and witnessing the transformation of expertise. Big shout out to the Pivot for not being too proud and bringing on another generational talent as brother Ed Reed. You men are doing what's necessary!! Love to the Pivot as always!
Those would be great guests
Mad respect for Ed Reed. He was one hell of a player, but more of a man. Great interview.
The best free safety to ever play the game this is going to be great especially with Ed's knowledge the great defenses he played on ect Pivot y'all done it again salute
@sostdm617 much love fam
@@thepivotpodcast💯💯💯
Hands down!
@@thepivotpodcast appreciate you guys finally brining on a Raven great, thought it would never happen. That Ravens-Steelers rivalry during the Reed/Troy years was special. The level of hate/respect whenever both teams met was palpable on the field. Thank you guys for making this happen.
Ronnie Lott, my friend. He was a first team All Pro , Pro Bowler, and Champion at every position in the defensive backfield. You’ll never EVER see that again. None before, none since.
Living Legend!! 🙌🏾❤️
The GOAT
Ed I've followed your career on an off the field you were a good person, then and even better person now God continue to bless you and your family ❤️🙏🏾🙂
I started watching Channing and Fred on the other show. They left and so did I. @thepivot has not disappointed one bit. Bringing Ryan in was the ultimate Ace in the hole. These 3 together makes this show amazing every time. This interview with Reed was so great. Felt like I was sitting down listening to old school Uncle drop gems. Keep up the good work fellas. Salute to you Three Kings.
I am a life long football fan from NC but Ed Reed is by far my favorite player of all times 🙏🏾 This & the Swagu episode are my favorite two!
To smoke a stogie with a glass of bourbon, with this man Ed Reed. I’d be honored sir. A legend in the football world but a true man’s man.
Love this dude.
We need to see Ray Lewis on the show soon
I'm willing to bet it coming soon!!! At least I hope so
Clicked so fast on the vid when I saw the 🐐 Ed Reed was on. Left his mark as one of the greatest college and NFL players EVER. Great interview fellas.!
Same
As a RAVENS fan in Bmore ER is one of the 3 greatest in team history. Always a real man✊🏽💯
The realest 🙌
It’s impressive that everyone’s game plan was just to stop Freddie T but he still had a hell of a career lol Should’ve already been in the HOF
There was a time that Freddy T was a top 5 rb in his prime….Freddy T was that dude on the field
MY GUY ED REED!!!! MUCH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO HIM!! I almost slapped my daughter while she was working at Under Armour, Ed Reed came through on Field Day, my daughter snapped a picture with Ed she send it to me and says, Mom I took a picture with this guy who plays for the Ravens. THIS GUY!?! THIS GUY?!!! THAT GUY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST!!! SMH!!
One of your best episodes of all time! I was locked in during the whole interview! Simply Outstanding Bruthas.
Another great show, Ed Reed is one of the GOATs !! Thank you for having him on.
I understand everything damn thing ER is speaking about. I’m a HBCU grad and leadership in any position is key! There needs to be a lot of mind change at our HBCU top leaders. Thanks my guys and lady of the Pivot! You all rock! 💙💙💙💙❤️
I'm 38 and a Bethune grad that lives in Daytona. My generation wanted Ed Reed to stay because he would've brought money to the institution and City of Daytona. The older generation got in their personal feelings and wanted him gone.
Stop it, Ed Reed was acting like a degenerate
@@bobbyjackson7325 Correct it’s just a power struggle for the HBCU administrators. Ed would have bought in lost of funds and turned the program around. But when you have people with closed minds that what happened.
Amazing interview with Mr Reed. I love his laidback and down to earth demeanor. It’s awesome to hear the behind the scenes of each athlete’s life and journey. Continue the excellent work!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have been asking for this for so long. I really thank the Pivot. Ravens Everything 👊🏿👊🏿
Love this interview. Ed Reed is the safety 🐐. Straight ball hawk/Touchdown machine. 👏🏿
Reed and RC have come back to their old high schools and given back. Destrehan has a good athletic facility thanks to Ed Reed. Classy guys much respect
This was a dope interview! Ed Reed is one my favorite players ever and most certainly one of the GOATS!
If there is a word meaning beyond great, it would define Ed Reed. Beyond outstanding on and off the field 🏈
I love the Pivot Podcast.
Ed Reed!!!! 💪🏿 🏈
Ed reed, he would be a great 4th member of the pivot fam. What a down to earth man… a beast on the gridiron. The pivot is my everyday Therapy…🤙🏽🤙🏽
Send'n Terrific Tuesday Vibes Y'all Way (Pivot, Pivoters & Ed Reed) let's Get it Leggo🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lifelong Steelers fan here.. Other than our greats, Ray Lewis & Ed Reed are the two players I most revered, respected & appreciated the greatness of 👏🫡
Ed is a straight up cool cat.. Love his overall outlook on sports & life. Demeanor is one of a kind...
I just love Ed reed just an overall great genuine guy.
I absolutely love this interview! Ed Reed is a vibe. Thank you for shouting out Rickey Henderson, and for that Wildcats reference. Those took me back!
Reed introduced me to football. I gravitated significantly to the message and intensity of that Miami speech from 01'. My favorite player to watch them, still today. Thank you Pivot. Ya'll are the best!
You can see why Ed Reed was a great player... it all starts in attitude. That man is special indeed
I swear this show give me a vibe with all the uncles played In the NFL telling their story about it I'm all ears
This is one of the names you stop doing what you’re doing to watch and listen. Great podcast 💯
Finally a Raven!
Zay was on for like a half hour i believe
Thanking The Pivot for this episode!
I am born and bread a Steelers fan. But E. Reed is THAT DUDE 💪🏽💯
These 2 Louisiana Homeboy's Genuinely have the Upmost Respect for each other. Ryan says: Ed is the Best. Ed says Troy was the Best. Ryan and the boys say: Peyton and Tom Brady, Ed Reed says: Can't forget about Big Ben Roethlisberger. Mad respect from 2 guys who played each other 2 times every season and Won Super Bowls from the same AFCN Division while they played. Awesome Podcast!
I absolutely love the Pivot the show has given in sight on the person and the sport the played. Knowing more about the person and what it took to get where they are or what they went through while they were playing. Love this shown!!!
Ed Reed is such a cool person, what an energy to have in the room
The Way Ryan Ask The Sentimental Questions In A Sincere Tone iReally Don’t Know How He Don’t Get Emotional It Leads Me To Deep Thought Everytime Keep Being Great Guys ‼️💯‼️
It’s starting to bother me how often Ryan asks the emotional questions to get a reaction. In every pod, he asks about a death, abandonment, or general bad situation to elicit a response. I’m glad Ed didn’t give it to him this time
As fans man there are games that you just realize you're watching something iconic. As a Steelers fan I feel privileged to have watched the battles Ed and the Ravens had with the Steelers. Everyone gets wrapped up in everything else and I don't think we truly realize how special the talent we watch is.
To the voter's of the hof. Please elect fred T. To the hall of fame. One of the best ive ever seen.
My man has fully embraced the Uncle Ed look, and I'm here for it.
Best to ever do it. He would have been a hall of famer even if he were two steps slower. That'd how smart of a player he was. The fact that he could cover ground like he did while also knowing EXACTLY where to be was just unfair.
I forget about this show because it never shows up in my algorithms and I never see any promotions. Crazy bc it's one of my favorite pods
Excellent Interview from start to finish. Ed Reed is one of the best to ever do it. Keep the amazing content going fellas!
Great interview…… Ed Reed is a legend!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ed Reed. One of the legit GOATs. Such a badazz.
I was blessed to have this man as a coach for a short time period he taught us so much about the game. About being a man and how become men being accountable having integrity. Coach Reed will always be Coach Reed to me and one of the best coaches and influences in my life!
Ed giving me Frederick Douglass vibes lol. As a Steelers fan, highly respected!!
Yeeeeesss!!! I've been hoping for y'all to interview my all-time favorite player!! I've ALWAYS wear his jersey AND #20, & will CONTINUE to wear it! Raven for Life!! 💜🖤💜🖤 Great show, Pivot Podcast!! 💯💯💯💯
I have been hoping to see Ed Reed, my 9/11 bday twin, on here for the longest!! I love, love, love the Pivot
Man Ed Reed had me so fired up. Mr Reed as a head coach, those young men will be so lucky. So much knowledge about life.
Bethune handled the situation poorly in my opinion. Whether you’re butthurt about how the message was relayed, the message was clear that he was there to help and uplift those kids
Did they handle it poorly or did he handle it poorly????
@kenjamingaming: Leave that alone pls…. Who’s applying ??? apparently nobody told him …learn the transition from player to head coach experience is imperative.
He made a mistake
By the way Butt hurt sounds so so Gay
Phenomenal interview. Ed Reed is the pinnacle of everything great about this game. I would love if you all got Frank Gore on here! His son is getting ready for the draft and he is currently w/ the 49er front office - I'm sure he'd have great perspectives on things both on and off the field.
This! Man Frank is one of my fav players, best back no talks about and has a legit HOF case.
ED REED The Greatest Safety of All Time!! Awesome to heanhim speak like this don't think I ever really hear anything like this from him! He is definitely an one of a kind human too
Ed Reed best safety ever, any decade any era! No question, hands down! And I live in Cincinnati. You can't be denied.
Ed reed wanna thank you for the awesome football years. And your much more then a football player. Appreciate everything you brought to the game.
ABOUT DAMN TIME the pivot brought someone from the Ravens on. I thought RC had a clause to not interview Ravens lol. I’m glad they got Reed for the fist Raven Interview. Great episode!!!
Ed Reed is a true 🐐 glad I got to witness him
The fact that he can remember the plays…Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ed Reed is the greatest!!!! 🙌🏾
BALTIMORE LEGEND 💯🐐
Timeout. I've only watch 2 minutes and 15 secs and this dude STILL knows the Dolphins personnel and offensive concepts from that game 15 years later............. G.O.A.T. DNA.
My fave player!!!! Once Fred go in, I’m there in Canton to celebrate
Ed Reed straight look like Dick Gregory
ED THE BEAST REED🔥🔥
I’ve always been an Ed Reed fan, this made me a bigger one. Great player and a great man. Well done.
"Football is medicine" powerful statement
Not disappointed as usual, another solid show ✊🏾👏🏾
Ed Reed a legend!
I’ve watched the pivot for a couple years now I knew of Ed read. I’ve watched them play but watching them in this interview what a bad ass I love how simplistic shit is to him and what a good dude is just down to earth he sees things in a simple wayhuge goddamn now I feel mad that I didn’t hear or see him in other interviews, but what a great pivot broadcast again
This will go down as a classic episode with Ed Reed! One of my favorites and awesome job Pivot crew!
Best safety to ever do it!
🗣enough 😂guys!!! You need to call this show "pivot to goats"🐐 at this point💯💪🏾🫡🫡🫡
I love reading the comments section after these dope interviews. I literally hung off of every single word Reed spoke. Like someone said on here already, like an uncle dropping gems. He remembers everything so vividly in his mind. You heard him, he was ALWAYS about TEAM, even though he was the elite true dawg on his teams. This man was willing to give up his HOF spot to Steve Atwater because he looked up to him. True class man!
Whoever was behind the cinematography on this episode omg I loved how it slowly panned/zoomed in on Ed after asking about his brother and coming to a stop and holding that. It was brilliant!!
Been rocking since Charles Haley pulled them socks out lol
Ryan , Channing and Fred y’all should have Jordan Travis on this podcast.
I know exactly what happened in that jump cut when Channing called Ed a MFer. 😂😂😂 I’ve spoken to Ed too many times to know how that went.
Can't say it enough super proud of the pivot
Grown conversations
