The Green Bay Packers selected Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed with the 50th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
Reed (5-11, 187) caught 203 passes for 2,866 yards and 26 touchdowns and returned three punts for touchdowns over four seasons at Michigan State. He was a two-time All-Big Ten pick.
The Packers acquired this pick by moving back twice, first with the Detroit Lions to No. 48 and then with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to No. 50. The move down five spots netted the Packers a fifth-round pick (No. 159) and sixth-round pick (No. 179).
Reed ran the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds at the combine. His Relative Athletic Score is 6.74 out of 10.0, and he is Dane Brugler’s No. 80 overall player in the draft class.
Reed joins Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave as the Packers’ two second-round picks in the 2023 draft.
