Could a standout rookie season lead to a breakout second season for Green Bay Packers receiver Jayden Reed? Bucky Brooks of NFL.com thinks so.
In his All-Breakout Team for 2024, Brooks picked Reed — who led the Packers in receiving as a rookie — as one of his three wide receivers bound to break out this season.
From Brooks: “On a team without a true WR1, Reed could ascend to the top spot as a reliable chain mover with strong hands and dynamic running skills. Operating primarily out of the slot, the second-year pro is a rare find as a vertical threat, possessing polished route-running skills that enable him to win on crossers, digs and deep overs.
