Reeder, an undrafted player out of the University of Delaware, first signed with the Rams in 2019 and made the 53-man roster that year.

He played for the team for three seasons, tallying 91 tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions. In 2022, Reeder signed a contract with the Chargers, where he played in 17 games and recorded eight tackles, a forced fumble, and a pass defense.

Reeder's signing with the Vikings will likely provide the team with depth at the linebacker position and a key contributor on special teams.

While he had a quieter season in 2022, Reeder's previous experience with the Rams suggests he could return to his earlier production levels.
