/SalvationArmyCharlotte @SalArmyCLT @SalvationArmyCLT /BGCCharlotte @BGCCharlotte Featuring NFL HALL OF FAMER ANDRE REED

From Allentown, PA to Division II Kutztown College, Andre Reed has had a legendary career to say the least. Reed played for 16 NFL seasons, 15 with the Buffalo Bills (1985–1999) and one with the Washington Redskins in 2000 when he retired. After being eligible for eight years, Reed was selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014.

Reed ranks twelfth in NFL history in total career receptions with 951. In 2009, Reed was elected to the Buffalo Bills 50th Season All-Time Team.

In his four Super Bowls, Reed recorded 27 receptions, the second most total career Super Bowl receptions in NFL history. His 323 total Super Bowl receiving yards are the third most in Super Bowl history. Reed ranks near the top in nearly all NFL career statistical receiving categories. He went over 1000 yards four times in a 16-year career, is tenth in NFL history in total career receptions with 951 ninth in NFL history in total career receiving yards with 13,198. Reed is also eleventh in NFL history in total career touchdown receptions with 87.

He also rushed for 500 yards and a touchdown on 75 carries. With the Bills, Reed played in four consecutive Super Bowls (1991–1994) and was selected to the Pro Bowl in seven consecutive seasons (1988–1994).

A tribute to his incredible physical durability, Reed played in 234 NFL games between 1985 and 2000, the 59th most games played by any player in NFL history, including players in less physically demanding positions, such as kickers and punters.

From #83s on the field and off the field efforts he was inducted into Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Hall of Fame in 2015. He volunteers his time as ambassador for BGC kids, by visiting local Boys & Girls Clubs wherever he goes and is grateful for this honor alongside the likes of Denzel Washington, Jennifer Lopez, Magic Johnson, and more.
