About Andre Reed

In the words of Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame Coach Marv Levy, "Andre Reed was one of the greatest and most durable football players that I have ever coached. He excelled in every aspect of the game."

Andre Reed was one of the greatest and most durable wide-receivers of all time.

Reed was one of the key members of the Buffalo Bills during their glory years in the early 90’s and was a vital component to the Bills unprecedented run of playing in four straight Super Bowls.

The future Hall of Famer set the all-time Bills receiving record with 941 receptions, 13,095 receiving yards, 86 touchdown receptions, and 36 games with at least 100 yards receiving. Along with Jim Kelly, and Thurman Thomas, Reed was a part of one of the most potent offenses ever to play in the NFL.

Andre was born on January 29, 1964 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The seven time pro-bowler actually played Quarterback at Dieruff High School where he led the team to an undefeated season in his senior year. Reed was recruited as a wide-receiver by Kutztown University where he set nine school receiving records.

In 1985, the future Hall of Famer was drafted in the fourth round by the Buffalo Bills where he had an immediate impact during his rookie year with 48 receptions for 637 yards and 4 touchdowns. With improving numbers during the next few years, Andre earned his first of seven pro-bowl selections in 1988. The rest of his career speaks for itself. He went on to set nearly every Buffalo Bills receiving record and ensure his place in the NFL Hall of Fame.

After 15 years with the Bills, including four Super Bowls, six AFC title games, seven Pro-Bowls, and several Bills records, Andre played one year with the Washington Redskins before retiring.

Reed finished third all-time in receptions with 951, sixth in receiving yards with 13,198 yards and seventh all-time with 86 receiving touchdowns. Andre and Jerry Rice are the only two receivers in the history of the NFL to have thirteen seasons with at least 50 receptions.
