Darrell Reid (born June 20, 1982) is a defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts. He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2005.

[edit] College

Reid played college football for the Minnesota Golden Gophers from 2000-2004, where he was a four-year starter. He arrived at Minnesota as a linebacker, but was switched to defensive tackle in 2001. During his junior season, he led the team with 5.5 sacks. Reid switched to defensive end in 2004 and again led Minnesota in sacks with 7.5. This effort gained him a spot on the 2004 All-Big Ten Second Team.

[edit] Pro Career

While covering a kick return against the Tennessee Titans, Reid achieved league-wide recognition for a hit on return man Chris Henry that John Madden called "one of the biggest hits [he's] ever seen." The hit has been given the name "the Reid Bombing"
