No one wanted to talk about this too much while Andy Reid was still coaching the Eagles, but it was always out there. His son Britt had some serious problems, and so did his brother Garrett. (Garrett died of a heroin overdose in 2012.) Via WIkipedia:

In 2007, Britt was sentenced to 8 to 23 months in jail alongside his brother Garrett for running what a Norristown, Pennsylvania, judge then called a "drug emporium" out of the Reid residence.[4]
