Bills signed Pitt RB Desmond Reid.

26 April 2026

Reid, 21, is an accomplished four-year player. He spent his first two college seasons playing for Western Carolina before transferring to Pittsburgh and maintained explosive, high-level play at both stops. Unfortunately, he carries size-related injury concerns. Reid stands 5’6/174 and missed time due to injury in each of the last three seasons. That said, Reid had no issue forcing missed tackles and caught 21-plus passes in all four campaigns. In his career-best, 2024 season, he went 185/968/5 as a rusher and 51/580/4 as a receiver, earning first-team all-ACC honors. He also fielded punts for Pittsburgh, forcing 17 missed tackles on 18 punt returns over the last two years. Reid has a chance to contribute in that capacity again as a rookie. Should he return fantasy value, it will likely be as a receiving specialist in PPR formats.
