It's no secret the Green Bay Packers need its rookies to carve out big roles in 2023. The success of the season largely depends on what the youngsters can do.

So far, second-round pick, Jayden Reed, has been everything the team has wanted him -and needed him- to be. There's obviously room for improvement, but regardless, he's certainly shown the ability to make plays on a consistent basis.

Said ability showed up Saturday night when Reed scored a touchdown against the New England Patriots:

Reed is currently projected to win the Packers slot receiver job, but he also represents an all-around weapon that can line up outside or take jet sweeps/handoffs out of the backfield. His kick/punt return ability can't be underestimated, either.

No matter what, Reed is a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands and it's totally safe to assume the Packers are going to do whatever they can to get him the ball in 2023.
