It has been a fantastic year for the Lions, but the safety position has been a bright spot and Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed agrees. In an interview for the Up & Adams Show, Reed was asked who he thinks is the best safety in the league right now. “My guy in Detroit,” Reed responded, referring to Kerby Joseph.
Reed was a force in the league from 2002-2013, most notably playing for the Baltimore Ravens where he was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2004, a five-time First-team All-Pro, the league interception leader three times, and a Super Bowl Champion.
Kerby Joseph on the other hand, is in his third season in the league and has already made a difference on defense. 2024 has been his breakout season, as he was voted First-team All-Pro and led the league in interceptions. While Joseph does not yet have Reed’s pedigree, he could be on his way there if he can keep up his level of play.
