Look: NFL legend Ed Reed coaches in Georgia playoff game

The Pro Football Hall of Famer was one on the sidelines coaching for Chamblee

It’s not everyday you get to see a Pro Football Hall of Famer coaching in a high school football game. 

If you were at the Class 5A first round playoff game between Chamblee-Coffee, you would’ve seen one of arguably the best safeties in National Football League history. 

Former Miami Hurricanes/Baltimore Ravens’ free safety Ed Reed was on the Chamblee Bulldogs’ sidelines coaching against the Coffee Trojans. The Trojans won the first round matchup 56-0.
