Kansas City Chiefs S Justin Reid appears to be having a good offseason.
Not only is he enjoying his first offseason as a Super Bowl champion, but Reid has also been hard at work preparing for the team’s Super Bowl title defense. On Monday evening, Reid took to Twitter to inform the entire Chiefs Kingdom that his offseason has been going great. Check it out:
“This off-season has been tremendous,” Reid wrote. “Currently the biggest, strongest, fastest and most technical that I’ve been in my career. The marathon continues.”

There is currently no way to verify whether Reid actually is the fastest or most technical he’s been during his career. We’ll just have to take his word on it. However, he added some proof on his Instagram story regarding the biggest and strongest part. Check it out:
Reid is listed at 6-foot-1 and 207 pounds on the Chiefs’ official roster, so this would be over a 10-pound increase for the veteran safety.
Admittedly, 218 pounds is on the top end in terms of weight for a safety in the NFL. Last season, Ravens S Kyle Hamilton weighed in atop the league at 221 pounds, but he also has three inches on Reid. New Eagles S Terrell Edmunds is listed at 6-foot-1 and 217 pounds, so that might be one of the closest comparisons.
We’ll see how this new weight handles on the 26-year-old soon enough when OTAs kick off in Kansas City next Monday.
