Jayden Reed is one of the most versatile players in all of college football. He is a finalist in the race for the Paul Hornung award which highlights the most versatile player in the FBS.

While Reed is primarily a receiver, he also serves as one of Michigan State’s main return specialists and has even spent a little time in the backfield.

Jayden is currently fourth in the Big Ten in receiving touchdowns, fifth in receiving yards, third in punt return yards, and has the most punt return touchdowns in the country with two. He remains a very under-the-radar prospect, yet he stacks up well with an elite-receiver heavy conference.

Reed brings a swiss-army knife skill set and teams covet that with late-round picks especially. He will most likely land anywhere from rounds 3-5 if he was to declare after this season.
