Jason Reid was named senior NFL writer for The Undefeated (now Andscape), ESPN's platform exploring the intersections of sports, race and culture, in January 2016, after serving as an NFL columnist for ESPN.com for a year. He joined ESPN in February 2015 as an NFL columnist and his work appeared on the NFL pages of ESPN.com. Prior to joining ESPN, Reid covered the Los Angeles Dodgers for the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Commanders for The Washington Post and was a general sports columnist for The Post. At Andscape, some of Reid's NFL work includes The Puzzling Plummet of RGIII--an in-depth look at how former Commanders quarterback Robert Griffin III fell out of favor with the team; and enterprise reporting around the NFL's support of social justice organization in the wake of players' protests, and the ensuing discord among the players. In April 2017, Reid co-authored The NFL's Racial Divide--a long-form investigation about the role that race plays in the construction of NFL rosters--which won the 2018 NABJ Salute to Excellence Award in the sports digital media category.
