I know this isn't Nole related but Ed Reed said that he was a 2* recruit . Wow talk about overlooked.

He was

Yeah, not everyone develops at the same pace... JJ Watt was a 2* as well

Ed Reed is a living legend but this story is super overblown. He was recruited by all the southern powers and there's no actual evidence he was even a two star.

so Ed Reed is a liar? Going to lie at his HOF speech? I was around when he was recruited, were you, respectfully?

lol I can't imagine why you would take this as personally as you are, but can you explain what your disagreement is?

I have no idea where you'd find that he was a two star, that modern system didn't even exist yet.

Reed also had verifiable offers from LSU and Ole Miss, in addition to Miami. He was definitely underrated, as it's pretty unlikely anyone knew he'd be one of the best to ever play the position, but he just wasn't this entirely unknown gem the way the story is told. It's just not true

And ever since then, “Ed Reed was a 2-star” has been the catchphrase of the “stars don’t matter crowd”

It’s not personal, and I said respectfully. Certainly not meant as an attack. People, and I don’t mean you, just spit out stuff these days with no idea If they are right or wrong.

There were stars back then, they just weren’t all over the Internet. At the beginning of his recruitment he wasn’t highly rated at all and really showed out when he got to Miami.

My bad if I offended you.

He looked like it when he played for the Houston Texans in 2013 for half the season.
