The Green Bay Packers are going into the 2024 season with one of the best young receiving corps in the NFL. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and even Bo Melton all have a real chance of not only making the roster, but contributing in a massive way.
Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Doesn’t Hold Back After Practice
According to Ryan Wood of USA Today:
Back on the field after bout with turf toe, Jayden Reed is clear about his goal for 2024 encore after record rookie year: He wants a 1,000-yard season.
With Reed, the Packers could have a more polished version of Deebo Samuel. With Reed’s route running abilities, Green Bay may have even more of an offensive danger than Samuel is for the 49ers..
It is evident that Reed and the Packers’ receiver room complement each other well. Watson is the deep threat option.In the past year, Doubs led the team in contested catches.He is one of the league’s top route runners, finishing among the top three slot receivers last season.
The beauty of Green Bay’s current receiver room is that there isn’t a clear number one option, so Reed won’t be double or triple-teamed every week. With defenses not solely focused on him, he will have plenty of opportunities to disrupt opposing defenses. He has the skill to become a top versatile player in the league, which would greatly benefit the Packers.
Reed has as good of chance as any in the Packers’ wide receiving room to become their “true No. 1 wide receiver.”
