Chargers News: Fans react to selecting Joseph Reed in fifth round

The LA Chargers continued an interesting draft and selected wide receiver Joseph Reed out of Virginia with the 112th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. This definitely was surprising Chargers news for most fans.

Reed is not someone who popped up a lot on Chargers mock draft heading into the draft and was projected to go later in the draft. However, the Chargers obviously like what he brings to the table as a dedicated slot receiver and explosive kick-returner.

There is some potential there that is easy to get excited about, and I for one know that I am going to buy his jersey the second it becomes available (he’s got a great last name).
