Former NCCU QB Turned ESPN Draft Analyst
Jordan Reid is not a current player but a former North Carolina Central Eagles quarterback (2013–2016) who now serves as an NFL Draft analyst for ESPN. His differentiator lies in his elite football IQ: he set the NCCU career record with a 55.9% pass completion percentage and finished with 3,524 passing yards and 19 TDs. Reid’s intensity and leadership were evident as a team captain, and his post-playing career showcases his ability to evaluate talent—earning him a full-time role on ESPN’s draft staff. While he’s not a fit for your team as a player, his insights are invaluable for roster building. You should care because Reid bridges playing experience with top-tier media analysis, offering rare, data-driven perspectives on prospect rankings and draft strategy.
