Reed is such a baller. Love watching this young man grow and learn the game. Tough as nails and electric with the ball.

Reed was my favorite pick by the Pack in a long time regardless of which draft position. There was something about his competitiveness and the way he made plays in college. Can't wait to see him after another year or two of Pro training and physical development. Kid is a stud.

There are good things happening from all of the young receivers, and Reed may be the most dynamic. Quite the weapon!

For the year:
60 receptions, 681 yards, 8 TD
11 rushes, 119 yards, 2 TD
11 punt returns, 94 yards (8.5 yards/return avg)

If he had a decent QB while at Michigan State, probably would not have been there in the second round.  Diamond in the rough.

Our own Jayden Reed made the cut-  more here, scroll down:

"When the Green Bay Packers offense found its groove during the second half of the season, Jayden Reed was the best receiving option. The second-round pick was a big-play threat and one of the best vertical options from the slot.

His 18 targets and 361 yards from the slot... on throws of 20 or more air yards were the most in the league.

"Reed started as the jet guy in Green Bay’s offense, and he grew in that role, making it a more dynamic position. By the end of the season, the Packers were taking traditional jet plays — like the jet wheel teams are featuring heavily since Tyreek Hill and the Kansas City Chiefs used it to get more momentum for his speed — and breaking them off into the middle of the field."

From Brooks: “On a team without a true WR1, Jayden Reed could ascend to the top spot as a reliable chain mover with strong hands and dynamic running skills. Operating primarily out of the slot, the second-year pro is a rare find as a vertical threat, possessing polished route-running skills that enable him to win on crossers, digs and deep overs. Reed earned Jordan Love’s trust during a fine rookie season (64 catches, 793 receiving yards and eight scores) that put the former second-rounder on the radar as a potential No. 1 option in Green Bay. These two should make even sweeter music in their second season together.”

Agree with both @michiganjoe and @Boris.  

What distinguished Cobb from the beginning was his knack for reading the game the same way as Rodgers. When a play broke down Cobb was the go-to guy on scramble plays, not unlike the connection Travis Kelce has with Mahomes. Randall also had outstanding short area quickness which, before injuries began to take their toll, made him a great option coming out of the backfield or working the middle of the field.

Jayden Reed plays a different game. He plays bigger and stronger than Cobb and there is a directness to his game that none of the other Packer receivers have. When he decides to go North-South, boom! he’s going! Somebody said in the game thread yesterday that Reed’s vision when ball carrying through crowds is outstanding and I agree. He’s also an outstanding blocker. Terrific player!

A star in the making.
