ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 18, 2006) -Defensive back RAYSHUN REED, who earned All-NFL Europe honors last season with the Hamburg Sea Devils, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League.

He went on to play in 10 games, making 34 tackles with two quarterback sacks, nine pass defenses, three forced fumbles and three interceptions.
