Proven Virginia Tech pass-rush threat with NFL-caliber burst
Justus Reed stood out at Virginia Tech as an impact edge defender, finishing his college run with disruptive pass-rush production and a reputation for a quick first step, strong point-of-attack play, and active hands. In 30 career college games, he totaled 66 tackles, 19.0 sacks, four forced fumbles, three passes defensed, and two fumble recoveries[8]. Recruiting evaluations praised his first-step explosiveness and ability to win at the line of scrimmage[4], and his 2020 highlights showed a high-motor finisher who could bend the corner and create negative plays[5].
