Poor fella didn't catch on with an NFL team, so he decided to be a New Castle County (Delaware) cop. Just four days shy of graduating and receiving his badge and gun, he decided to try to strangle his girlfriend. He is now wanted by Newark PD. So sad.

That was a career altering decision, maybe he can shoot for a trustee position.

He must've skipped the Domestic Abuse section of the criminal code.

I remember UD fans in 2012 were very disgruntled the Newark, DE native didn’t go with the hometown UD, and signed with JMU. He had a heck of a career at JMU. 4 year starter, including as a rSr in 2016 on JMU’s NC team. 3x all CAA (2x 1st team), All American as a senior on the NC team. His 2014 game vs UR (TWO Pick 6, 2 forced fumbles, 8 tackles/7 solo) is the best single game stat wise by a DB I’ve ever seen at JMU.
Probably the 2nd best CB to come out of JMU in the last decade after Jimmy Moreland (7th Rd Redskins) (6th yr senior Rashard Robinson is probably better than either). Don’t remember if in 2017 Reynolds was a UDFA or just had a rookie tryout, but he never made an NFL roster..
Under 3 head coaches (Mickey Matthews, Everett Withers, Mike Houston), I don’t recall him ever getting in trouble at JMU.

Wonder how he'll do in jail? Hopefully better than he did in the NFL.
A lot of times an accuser will back off from pressing charges if it will hurt an athlete's career, but since he was a failure, there's nothing to lose.

He turned himself in yesterday. He was a UDFA for the Falcons.

On a serious note, he really screwed up his future with just one bitch-choking. No shame in striking out with the NFL, but blowing his backup career, just four days from graduating, was a killer. Gotta figure his career prospects are limited at this point.

Yep, his LE career is over before it started.
WDAY link doesn’t work anymore, but it was news coverage/video from after the 2016 JMU @ NDSU semis. A few (black) parents of JMU players, including Reynold’s mom in his #14 jersey, in a Fargo restaurant/bar, surrounded by (white) NDSU fans.
