Before the Packers drafted Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, running back Josh Jacobs emphasized the need for a No. 1 receiver, which unsettled Jayden Reed, the team’s leading receiver for the past two seasons. Reed’s agent recently met with General Manager Brian Gutekunst to discuss his role, yet he has stepped up as a leader, mentoring newcomers like Golden and Mecole Hardman. The Packers’ receiving corps, now bolstered by these additions and with Christian Watson on injured reserve, is considered deeper than it has been in recent years, according to passing game coordinator Jason Vrable.
