Reed was drafted in the third round, 85th overall pick, by the Washington Redskins in the 2013 NFL Draft.[4] On May 24, 2013, he officially signed a four-year contract with the team.[5] In the Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers, he would record his first career touchdown, making him the first Redskins rookie to score a touchdown within the first two games of his career since retired tight end Chris Cooley in 2004.[6] On October 20, in a 45-41 win over the Chicago Bears, Reed recorded nine receptions for 134 yards and one touchdown, setting a new Redskins franchise record for receiving yards by a rookie tight end, as well as recording his first 100-plus yard game.[7] In Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Reed was pulled out of the game early after suffering a concussion. After missing four consecutive games due to headaches after the concussion,[8] he was placed on injured reserve on December 19.[9] Despite playing only nine games, with four starts, in his first season, Reed was named to Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America all-rookie team.[10]
