"It does not matter what people believe about you or what people think about you or what stats or numbers or any of that stuff says about you. The belief starts with you."
"Jeremy Reaves was an undersized, undrafted afterthought who fought through some significant adversity to firmly establish himself. His responsibilities increased last season, resulting in his most defensive snaps to date. Even if the South Alabama product does revert to a special-teams role in 2026, he'll tackle it with his customary enthusiasm and relentless drive."
Jeremy Reaves, an undrafted safety from South Alabama, has been rewarded with a one-year contract extension by the Washington Commanders, keeping him under contract for two additional seasons. Despite being undersized and overlooked initially, Reaves established himself through exceptional commitment and leadership. Last season, his defensive responsibilities increased significantly, marking his highest snap count to date. Known for his All-Pro special-teams performance and relentless drive, Reaves credits self-belief as the foundation of his success. The extension came two days before his wedding, representing both financial security and recognition from the franchise. Reaves emphasizes that personal belief matters more than external opinions or statistics.
