The Reid brothers are making the NFL a family affair.
Stanford safety Justin Reid declared for the 2018 NFL Draft, forgoing his final year of eligibility on the Farm.
Reid announced his move on Twitter:
I am foregoing my senior year of eligibility and am declaring for the 2018 NFL Draft. I know that I'm mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared to become a professional athlete. My education is very important to me, and I do fully intend on returning to finish my degree. pic.twitter.com/QKpeGQHR2P
