The longtime Buffalo Bill wide receiver from Allentown, PA, and potential Pro Football Hall of Famer, Andre Reed is the best professional athlete to ever wear the jersey number 83.
Reed currently ranks fifth in receptions all-time with 951, behind only such great names as Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, and current Colt, Marvin Harrison. He was elected to seven Pro Bowls (1989-1995,) and played in four Super Bowls (1991-1994.) Only Jerry Rice has more receptions in Super Bowls, and only Rice and Lynn Swann have more receiving yards in Super Bowls. In Super Bowl XXVII, Andre Reed caught eight passes for 152 yards during the Dallas Cowboys 52-17 trouncing of the Buffalo Bills.
Did you know.....Andre set nine school receiving records playing college football at Kutztown University?
any thought of Ben Davidson/ Oakland Raiders...?

ReplyDeleteYep, both he and Robert Parrish would be good choices for that number, but I haven't included 0 or 00 in my lists. Maybe I should.
