Packers coach Matt LaFleur provides context to Jayden Reed's second-half slump

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed got off to a hot start in 2024, which led many to believe the team had found another superstar receiver in the second round of the NFL draft.

Through the first nine games of the season, Reed was averaging nearly 70 receiving yards per game and had three games with at least 100 yards. However, Reed's production took a sharp dip during the second half of the season, with his average receiving yards per game dipping below 30 over the final eight regular season games.

Head coach Matt LaFleur provided some context as to why Reed's numbers tapered off during an interview on Tuesday at the NFL's Annual League Meeting.
