edit
]
Reynolds attended
Florida State University
, and played
defensive end
for coach
Bobby Bowden
's
Florida State Seminoles football
team from 1997 to 2000. Following his 2000 senior season, he earned first-team All-
Atlantic Coast Conference
(ACC) honors, and was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American.
[1]

College Football News
'
Defensive Player of the Year award. As a senior, Reynolds accumulated a career high 12

.
Professional
[
edit
]
His strong college pedigree led the
Green Bay Packers
to select him with the 10th overall selection in the 2001
NFL draft
.
[2]
The Packers acquired the draft pick from the
Seattle Seahawks
, in exchange for
Matt Hasselbeck
and the 17th overall selection in the draft.
Injuries and the emergence of
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
, however, prevented Reynolds from playing the first ten games of his
rookie
season. He finished his rookie season with four tackles and two sacks. On July 8, 2004, after two seasons in which Reynolds totaled only three sacks and played in only 13 games, the Packers attempted to trade Reynolds to the
Indianapolis Colts
. However, the trade was declared void after Reynolds failed the Colts'
physical examination
. Ten days later, the Packers released Reynolds, and he was picked up by the
Cleveland Browns
, who hoped to salvage the still-young Reynolds' career. Reynolds was cut by the Browns before the beginning of the
2004 season
, and has not played in the NFL since.
