Matt LaFleur's reason for not getting the ball to Jayden Reed doesn't add up

Green Bay Packers second-year wideout Jayden Reed has all the markers of being an elite wide receiver. He doesn't get that credit in the league just yet, but the Packers have a superstar on their hands in the second-round receiver out of Michigan State.

Reed has caught 44 passes for 693 yards and six touchdowns so far this season. He's also rushed 13 times for 128 yards and a touchdown, as he's largely head coach Matt LaFleur's favorite chess piece on an end-around or reverses to the wide receiver.

Reed has the incredible ability to be a star as a pass catcher and a runner, so it makes sense that LaFleur looks to scheme up ways to get him the football.
