News and Notes:
Jordan Reed is one of the more interesting prospects when he joined the Florida Gators as a man with no position. A high school quarterback that lead his team to an undefeated season, the Gators first tried him out at running back where he gained 335 rushing yards on 44 carries (4.4 ypc) in his freshmen year. He then made the transition to tight end where he lined up everywhere including inline, in the slot and bunch formations. While Reed offers up an intriguing skill set he also carries much personal baggage that may ultimately cause his draft stock to fall.
What they’re saying about him:
- CBSSports.com: “Reed is a fluid and flexible athlete with smooth body control and controlled balance. He flashes WR moves after the catch with quick, elusive feet and deceiving speed to run away from defenders. Reed shows smooth athleticism in his routes, creating separation with sharp footwork and quick body movements. He has reliable hands and does a nice job holding onto the ball after a big hit, proving his ability and toughness over the middle of the field.”
