The Green Bay Packers could not be more pleased with the production that they have received from rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed. No one would have expected the kind of season he has put up when he was drafted. Now, he appears to be a legitimate future star for the young offense.
Reed was selected with the No. 50 overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Immediately, he was scheduled for a large role in the offense. The opportunity he’s been given has not been let slide.
So far this season, Reed has racked up 60 receptions for 681 yards and eight touchdowns. He has also picked up 119 yards and two more scores on the ground. Those numbers show legitimate star potential for Reed’s future.
1 Wild Stat For Green Bay Packers’ Rookie Jayden Reed Since Week 10
Not only has Reed played well all season long, he has taken his game to a new level since Week 10.
According to Pro Football Focus on Twitter, Reed has the most targets since Week 10 without dropping a pass. He has 48 attempts without a drop. That is insane for a rookie wide receiver.

Green Bay has to be feeling good about the future of their offense. Alongside Jayden Reed, the Packers have young wideouts in Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Malik Heath. All of those guys are more than capable of being long-term options for the Packers.
In addition to the wide receivers, the Green Bay Packers have two rookie tight ends who have made a major impact. Both Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft look to be significant impact players as well.
Jordan Love has solidified himself as the future for the Packers under center. He has actually played his way into the fringe MVP conversation. Needless to say, Green Bay has loads of talent on the offensive side of the ball.
Hopefully, Jayden Reed will be able to give it a go this week when the Green Bay Packers take on the Chicago Bears. Reed is dealing with a chest injury. With a win-and-in situation upcoming, the Packers will need everyone playing at a high level to pull off the win.
