"We studied him very closely being that he played an hour up the road,Supply NHL Gear Store," Saints coach Sean Payton said of Reid. "It's someone we thought very highly of, had high grades on. You only get one pick. He's someone who has transitioned very quickly into a very good safety. That's not a surprise."
While Reid only attended one Saints game growing up 鈥?he doesn't recall who they played 鈥?he was thrilled when New Orleans won the Super Bowl after the 2009 season.
