From the Brian Balom story:
Like many of his teammates, Balom has taken advantage of the opportunity to connect with Hurricanes great Ed Reed, who in February, was hired by head coach Manny Diaz as the program’s new chief of staff.
The Hall of Fame safety has been at more than a few of Miami’s practices and has shared his expertise with players and coaches alike, something Balom has relished.
“He’ll just pop into the film room, start asking questions, pick your brain and having him around is a blessing. It’s been beneficial,” Balom said. “He comes talk to me and we have regular conversations, just laugh and then it’s back to business. He gives me tips on how to play a certain coverage, technique, how to disguise something. Having him around is just amazing, someone with that experience, that much wisdom, anything he says, 10 times out of 10 is correct. It’s a real blessing to have him around.
“When I tell my family I broke down film with Ed Reed, it just doesn’t even sound right. Ed Reed! It’s just something that really leaves you at a loss for words sometimes.”
