JEREMY REAVES, SAFETY

Jeremy Reaves is a Washington Commanders safety. Over the last six seasons, the 2022 Pro Bowler has embodied the tenants of the NFL Salute to Service initiative. He honors his parents' legacy of service by consistently going above and beyond for those who currently serve. Through countless base visits in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region, he regularly connects our armed forces and their families with the greater Commander family. Jeremy's tenacity and relentlessness on-field is no doubt a byproduct of his upbringing in a military household. At training camp, Jeremy can regularly be found on the fence line after practice with men and women in uniform. He is routinely one of the last off the field, insisting on spending time empowering soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors. The Commanders traditionally visit Joint Base Andrews at the end of training camp, conducting a brief walkthrough practice followed by time on field with hundreds of airmen and sailors. This has been one of Jeremy's favorite moments each season, where he gives back to the military community that gave so much to him growing up. He has made multiple visits to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. During these visits, Jeremy could be found knee to knee with our wounded, ill, and injured, offering heartfelt gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Jeremy's 2023 season was cut short after a season ending knee injury. His drive and resiliency have led to him coming back stronger than ever for the 2024 season. His mother served in the U.S. Air Force and his father served in the U.S. Army. He continues to lead on the field and off.
