A familiar face was at Florida State's Pro Day on Tuesday: Greg Reid. Reid, who was two years removed from his last game at Florida State after being dismissed from the team, transferring to Valdosta State and tearing his ACL.

It was an emotional return for Reid, who has gone from the NCAA's leading punt returner to barely on the NFL radar. But Reid said he wasn't bitter, far from it.

"Eight months ago I was laying up in a hospital bed and couldn't move or anything like that," Reid said. "I'm just blessed to walk. And get out here and run and do drills. Last year I could only do one 40, this time I could to both."

On Tuesday, Reid said he was grateful for the opportunity. He referred to himself as "blessed" every other sentence. While he spoke with reporters, Telvin Smith came up to stand nearby, grinning.

"Everybody knows what he's been through and all the obstacles, all the stuff like that," Smith said. "To see him back out here at 100 percent, running and stuff like that. You see the old Greg and everybody loves him. Man, it's just great to see him out here. Our families are out here watching. It's great."

Smith said he kept checking in with Reid throughout the day, seeing how his workouts were going. Many of FSU's other players who knew Reid also kept tabs on him throughout the day. He's stayed in touch with FSU's players and coaches even while away, even travelling to California for the national title game.

"I wish I could've been out there, but it's a blessing," Reid said. "I actually went out to California to watch, it was amazing. I knew Telvin would put his heart on the line and he'd have 10 guys on defense do it as well...the way Coach Fisher handles his children and the team, I knew they'd come out victorious."

Most important for Reid, though, was being able to share a moment with FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher, the same man who ultimately had to dismiss Reid from FSU's roster in 2012. The two shared an embrace on the field in between workouts.

"I never really grew up and had a mentor or a guy I looked up to, and I think Coach Fisher has become one of those in my life because all the things we went through," Reid said. "Just to see him succeed and I know everything he was telling me were the right things and to see him be successful, that means a lot to me. A handshake is one thing but a hug is very huge and important to my life."

For his part, Fisher said he enjoyed seeing Reid on Tuesday.

"You know something, I'm very happy," Fisher said. "I hope Greg gets a shot, because I'm going to tell you that's as instinctive and one of the best football players I've ever been around. For him to be able to battle back shows how committed he is. He's done a great job with his life, he's being very successful right now. I think if somebody gets him in camp, they're going to be very happy."

Reid worked out with former players and non-current FSU players, a group that most scouts weren't paying a whole lot of attention to. His main hope was to prove that he could still get enough speed from his surgically repaired knee, which he said was 100 percent now after long months of rehab.

"I've been asking everybody, I want to find out," But nobody's telling me. Hopefully it's good."

Reid knows he's a long shot to make an NFL roster. He was here last year as well before transferring to Valdosta State, and he took the impetus to reach out to FSU about coming again on Tuesday.

"All I need is one shot, man," Reid said. "I don't know about any feedback or what they're telling me. I'm just blessed to be here and blessed to get through my workouts."
