Andre Reed

Andre Reed was a privilege to talk to, and his humility is transparent from the beginning! Andre grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania where he learned principles of hard work and resilience that transcended into his football career and following chapters of his life. He went to the little known Kutztown State University, a Division II school, where he played wide receiver and grew his skills on the football field. After being drafted in the fourth round by the Buffalo Bills, he stayed steady in his journey to prove that his work ethic- partnered with his natural talent would take him to new heights. He shares with us that whom to much is given, much is required. He spent a lot of his childhood developing his core values at a local Boys & Girls Club. Andre Reed uses his current platform to challenge kids to get after what God has placed in front of them through his foundation. The Andre Reed Foundation works with Boys & Girls Clubs in 6 different NFL cities. Specifically, Read with Reed 83 is a reading program he developed to inspire kids to grow in knowledge. "The goal is to encourage kids to exercise their mind, tackle a good book, and touchdown to READ at least 30 minutes a day." https://andrereedfoundation.org/readwithreed83/

After listening to this episode, you will find that Andre Reed's legacy is still being written by the life he leads. Sit back, relax, and get your pens ready!
