Scouting Report:

Strengths: Probably the fastest and most athletic FB in the NFL. Was a receiver at Washington and was known for his blocking skills even then. Always a threat out of the backfield, the defense cannot put a LB on him and expect to cover him. Reece should excel in the new offense, and should see a lot more short yardage carries with Michael Bush out of the picture.

Weaknesses: Although a good blocker, Reece is not a true lead blocker.
