Packers giving WR Jayden Reed more designed touches behind line of scrimmage

Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Jayden Reed has not only provided a spark in the passing game over the last month but has also been getting more designed touches in the backfield.

In the last four games, Reed has six carries, five of which have come over the last two games, and has totaled 83 rushing yards with a touchdown. That’s an average of 13.8 yards per attempt with a long of 32, and three of those six rushes have totaled at least 15 yards, according to PFF.

“11 (Reed) is a playmaker,” said receivers coach Jason Vrable.
