Saints Safety Justin Reid Named NFLPA Week 6 Community MVP – The Heart of New Orleans Shines Beyond the Field ⚜️

New Orleans, October 11, 2025

He’s known for his impact on the field, but this week, New Orleans Saints safety Justin Reid is being celebrated for something even greater — his impact off it. Reid has been named the NFLPA’s Community MVP for Week 6, honoring his continued commitment to empowering underprivileged youth and bridging the digital divide in New Orleans.

Reid earned the recognition through his JReid Indeed Foundation, which focuses on providing technology access, STEM education, and mentorship opportunities to children in underserved communities across Louisiana. His mission is simple but powerful: to make sure every child, regardless of background, has a fair shot at a digital future.

Just last week, Reid hosted the foundation’s first-ever “Fully Charged” technology workshop at the New Orleans Public Library, where hundreds of kids took part in hands-on STEM experiences — from coding and robotics to electronics and digital creativity. For Reid, the event wasn’t just about technology; it was about giving kids in his hometown a sense of possibility and belonging.

“I love competing on Sundays,” Reid said. “But I also love creating real opportunities for kids and families. That kind of impact means just as much to me as any win on the field.”

This marks the second time Reid has earned the NFLPA’s Community MVP award. In 2021, he was recognized in Week 1 for helping Louisiana residents recover after Hurricane Ida.

As part of the honor, the NFLPA will donate $10,000 to the JReid Indeed Foundation, helping Reid expand his educational and community outreach programs throughout the region.

Known as one of the Saints’ most respected locker-room leaders, Reid expressed deep gratitude for the recognition — and for the opportunity to continue giving back.

“Football is my passion, but helping others is my greater purpose,” Reid said. “I want my legacy to be more than tackles — I want it to be about the opportunities I create for the next generation. Because true victory isn’t measured on the scoreboard; it’s measured by how many lives you can change around you.”

With his compassion, leadership, and unwavering dedication to his community, Justin Reid contin
