Ravens legend will coach his son, work with former teammate Jamal Lewis.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed was named offensive coordinator at Chamblee (Ga.) on Monday.

Reed will be coaching his son, Ed Reed III, who just completed his junior season for the Bulldogs.

He will also be coaching Jazz Lewis, son of former Baltimore Ravens teammate Jamal Lewis. Jazz hauled in 25 receptions for 403 yards and two touchdowns this past season as a freshman and holds an offer from Memphis. 

Chamblee went 2-9 this fall with multiple freshmen, including Lewis and quarterback Brayden Doss, making a big impact.

Jamal rushed for over 10,000 yards in his NFL career and is the recruiting coordinator at Chamblee. In 2003, he became the fifth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.

Reed is seventh all-time in NFL history with 64 picks in the regular season. He also had nine career postseason interceptions, including one in Super Bowl XLVII when the Ravens beat the 49ers 34-31.

At Destrehan (La.), Reed played quarterback, running back, defensive back and returner in the Class of 1997. As a senior he tallied 83 tackles, seven interceptions, three forced fumbles and returned three punts for touchdowns.

Reed was an all-around athlete in high school who averaged 20 points per game in basketball, pitched and hit in baseball and was a state champion in track and field.



Ed Reed III has also excelled at multiple positions on the football field. As a junior he caught 17 passes for 148 yards while rushing for 52 yards. He also punted for the Bulldogs and averaged 33.2 yards per boot.

As a sophomore in 2023, Reed III had a touchdown reception, a blocked punt and a forced fumble.

Ed Reed and Jamal Lewis starred together in Baltimore from 2002-06 and both were included on the NFL 2000s All-Decade team. They both won national titles in college and a Super Bowl with the Ravens. Lewis was a part of the franchise's first title in Super Bowl XXXV, while Reed won his ring 12 years later.
