Former Princeton DL Caraun Reid was a disruptive, high-motor interior defender with rare Ivy League pedigree
Caraun Reid stood out at Princeton as a quick, physical defensive tackle who earned national recognition in 2012 for FCS defensive line play, then parlayed that production into a fifth-round NFL draft pick in 2014. His calling card was interior disruption: strong leverage, active hands, and enough burst to create turnovers and occasional splash plays, including a defensive touchdown at the pro level. He’s best viewed as a tough, intelligent, high-effort trench player rather than a pure size-driven space-eater, which made him an appealing fit for teams wanting dependable, assignment-sound line depth.
