After impressing coaches and teammates with his technique during minicamp, defensive tackle Jarran Reed went through the first session of OTAs this week with the Seattle Seahawks.
The former Alabama standout was taken in the second round (49th overall pick) of the 2016 NFL Draft. He wore No. 90 in two seasons at Tuscaloosa, but will don No. 93 for Seattle in the fall.
