Jayden Reed had a big-time rookie season for the Packers. He could emerge as a No. 1 receiver and NFL star in 2024.
Dan Pizzuta noted how Reed was the team’s “best receiving option” when the offense “found its groove” during the second half of the season. Reed led the Packers with 64 receptions for 793 yards and 10 total touchdowns, and he was tied with Romeo Doubs for No. 1 with eight receiving touchdowns.General manager Brian Gutekunst traded back twice in the second round last year before picking Reed at No. 50 overall.
“I always got higher standards for myself,” Reed said during Packers OTAs. “I want to go for 1,000 yards this year plus and have more catches. That’s just for me. That starts with me knowing the offense better and being in the right position. That can make a huge difference because I wouldn’t even feel like I was fully confident last year. So, I think that will make a big difference this year.”
One, Reed’s 361 yards from the slot on passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield ranked No. 1 in the NFL. “He reminds me of a young Randall Cobb, but he’s, I think, better,” cornerback Jaire Alexander said, whispering the word “better” for emphasis. “He’s hungry. He’s hungry. When you’ve got a young guy coming in and hungry for the ball, they’re going to make their plays, and you see it.”
