2019 Stats: 27 tackles, two sacks, one pass defended, one fumble recovery

I am going to say this is probably in due to his experience, but I believe Jeremiah Attaochu and Malik Reed ended up splitting reps after Chubb was ruled out for the season. That also could have led to Attaochu getting more reps because he was doing a lot more.

For Reed, this could really just be the situation of him as a rookie finding his footing, but he did have some good numbers for a rookie. I feel he will shine once he gets it all figured out.

Grade: C+
