viral backflip video<\/a>, but head coach Scott Milanovich had not.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m impressed by anybody that does a backflip,\u201d Steinauer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he\u2019s long,\u00a0athletic and\u00a0he plays left tackle pretty good. I did not see the backflip, but he\u2019s\u00a0long and athletic on film,\u201d Milanovich said.<\/p>\n
Reid\u2019s backflip abilities have stuck with him since learning on a hill near his grandma\u2019s house and translating the movement to flat ground. He bumped his head a \u201cfew times\u201d which made him feel his backflips did not come naturally, but you wouldn\u2019t know it when witnessing the ease with which the big man pulls off the move. That\u2019s the consistency he wants to display on a Canadian Football League field, again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m coming to the CFL to prove to myself that it wasn\u2019t a fluke. I want to show everybody, even myself, that it wasn\u2019t a fluke,\u201d Reid said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want\u00a0to prove to myself that I\u2019m one of those guys that you can never sleep on. I\u2019ve been looked over a lot within these few months that I\u00a0haven\u2019t been on a team and I\u2019m hungry, I\u2019m so hungry. I don\u2019t like to talk about it, I\u2019m one of those guys that go out there and do.\u201d<\/p>\n
After suffering his pectoral injury, Reid wasn\u2019t sure if he would have another chance to play football.
