S Chris Reis Flying Under the Radar?

SI's write up for the 2006 draft

Chris Reis - S - 6-0, 215, 4.69, Georgia Tech

BIO: Two-year starter who totaled 76/2/2 as a senior after 70/1/6 the prior year. All-Conference and All-Academic performer in the past.

POSITIVES: Competitive defensive back who does the little things well. Aggressive in all aspects of the game and immediately diagnoses plays. Explosive in run defense, chases to get involved and sacrifices his body to make the tackle. Outstanding special-teamer, usually the first one down the field on coverage units.

NEGATIVES: Has marginal ball-skills and techniques in pass defense. Stiff pedaling in reverse, lacks speed to the flanks and does a lot of trailing in coverage.

ANALYSIS: A physical prospect best in a straight line, Reis is a backup safety who could have a long career in the NFL as a special-teams ace.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent

2005 All-ACC Academic Football Team

Tech has solid linebackers. This is an area where Gailey has recruited well. However, one of his best playmakers last year was Chris Reis. As a Safety 2 years ago his lack of DB speed got him beat regularly. As a LB last year, his speed was above average for the position, and he was a consistent playmaker. So, Gailey moves him back to Safety.
