If you live in Washington D.C. and used DoorDash in the past year, there's a chance you may have already met new Washington tight end
The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Reyes had been told all his life that he should be a football player, but his heart had been set on playing basketball until last year. After his godfather, Steve Rifkind, and brother, Alex Rifkind, convinced him to give it a shot, Reyes gave himself 365 days to train and learn the sport. Aside from working for DoorDash, he spent time as a basketball trainer for kids to make money.
