Description
Jalen Reeves-Maybin is a linebacker for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Reeves-Maybin played college football at Tennessee, where he was a standout defensive player and earned All-SEC honors as a senior. He is known for his athleticism, coverage skills, and ability to make plays in both the run and pass game.
In his first two seasons with the Lions, Reeves-Maybin has primarily been used on special teams, but he has also seen some action on defense. In 2019, he recorded 36 tackles, one sack, and one interception while playing mostly as a backup linebacker.
Off the field, Reeves-Maybin is active in community service and works to promote social justice. He has spoken out against police brutality and systemic racism and has participated in various charitable initiatives, including those focused on youth development and education.
The number 42 that Reeves-Maybin wears holds significance in sports history, particularly in baseball, as it was retired by several Major League Baseball teams in honor of Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in professional baseball. However, there does not appear to be any specific reason why Reeves-Maybin chose this particular number for his jersey.
