The Green Bay Packers took a flier on veteran defensive lineman Jarran Reed this offseason, and while he’s had a limited impact in 2022, the 30-year-old had his best game of the year on Christmas Day against the Miami Dolphins.
It was a much-needed 26-20 upset win for the Packers, with Reed playing a key role on Green Bay’s defense. He finished the game with six total tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. According to Pro Football Focus, Reed was nearly the team’s highest-graded defender in the game, finishing with an 89.
