I'm not trying to disrespect the guy or anything. He reminds me of Craig Steltz and there's nothing wrong with that.

Steltz is one of the Tiger greats. That guy hit like a train.

He's tons better than Craig Steltz. Steltz was a solid player but Reid is an impact player.

Steltz was a consensus first-team All-American and now is playing pro football. Reid is quite good, but he has a lot to accomplish before being "tons" better than Steltz.

He's looking at possibly 1st round money, 2nd round at worst. I don't see how another year would improve his stock enough to justify passing that up.

Except that under the new CBA, the rookie wage scale is a fraction of what it used to be.
