Jayden Reed is having a heck of a rookie season with the Green Bay Packers as a top receiver for QB Jordan Love.
Reed scored his 7th touchdown of the season on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands. Reed took a handoff 16 yards for an untouched score to make it 7-0 early, Green Bay.
Here’s the play:

Reed has now rushed for 2 touchdowns this season while hauling in 5 from the right arm of Jordan Love.
And he’s had a good day so far, catching 2 balls for 9 yards to go alongside the above score. For the season, Reed is sitting at 42 receptions for 522 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Green Bay needs a win desperately against the Giants. The Packers are one of a horde of NFC teams looking to snag a wild card spot, including division rivals Minnesota and Chicago.
