Versatile WR Jayden Reed will fill variety of roles for Packers

The Green Bay Packers went out of character by selecting Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed. However, what Brian Gutekunst and Co. couldn’t pass up was his versatility.

This was an off-script pick for the Packers because, typically at the receiver position, they prefer bigger bodies, with many past draft picks standing at least 6-0 and weighing more than 195 pounds. Green Bay also has primarily drafted prospects with a Relative Athletic Score (RAS) over 8.0, including many who broke the 9.0 mark. Reed, meanwhile, measures in at just under 5-11 and weighs 187 pounds. He also recorded a RAS of 6.74.
