Jayden Reed addressed the media following discussions between his new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and the Packers about Reed’s role on the team. He was aware of the talks prior to the draft and expressed no concern about his position, despite the team drafting wide receivers Matthew Golden and Savion Williams. Reed clarified that the discussion with the front office was meant to ensure alignment and that he did not know how details of the meeting leaked, leading to misconceptions about his standing with the team.
Having led the Packers in receptions and receiving yards over his first two seasons, Reed has yet to achieve a 1,000-yard season, with Davante Adams being the last Packers receiver to reach that milestone in 2021. Running back Josh Jacobs noted the Packers require a No. 1 wide receiver to support Reed and fellow players Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Dontayvion Wicks.
Reed emphasized his team-first mentality, stating that winning is his primary focus, regardless of personal statistics or target counts. He described himself as unselfish and committed to uplifting his teammates, suggesting that he prioritizes collective success over individual accolades. Reed’s comments reflect a commitment to fostering a positive and supportive environment within the team.
