At the conclusion of his senior season, Reynolds made the switch from quarterback to running back / slot receiver, lining up in both spots during the Senior Bowl and his Pro Day. He showed enough potential to be selected by Baltimore with the 182nd overall pick in the ’16 Draft. Reynolds would spend all of 2016 and most of 2017 on the Ravens’ practice squad before being waived and then added to the Washington Redskins’ practice squad in November.
