Konrad Reuland: 1987-2016

Reuland suffered a brain aneurysm in November and passed away on December 12th. He was just 29 years old.

Reuland, a two-sport athlete in high-school, played his collegiate ball at both Notre Dame and Stanford. He played with the Fighting Irish for two seasons before transferring to Stanford for two years to round out his play in college. In his senior season with the Cardinal, he hauled in 21 passes.

Eligible for the 2011 NFL Draft, all teams passed on Reuland, but he was able to sign as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, where he’d spend the year on the team’s practice squad. He received his most playing time in the league in his next season with the New York Jets.

With NYJ in 2012, Reuland hauled in 11 passes for 83 yards. The next year, he received more time with the team, catching his 12th and final NFL pass before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He would go on to see time with both the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens before being released by the Colts in his second stint with Indianapolis in August 2016.
