GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers receivers Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks can shake opposing defensive backs, but they couldn’t shake each other.
“Just the idea of us seeing the potential that we have and just knowing how much better we can be,” Reed said. “That’s what we talked about and that’s the goal that we set for each other. Holding each other to that standard. Getting up, going to work out. Just, ‘All right, brother.’ Just being the best we can be, really.”“It went good,” Wicks said. “It’s always good being around your teammates and your brothers and working out together. That was fun.
“We talk about how he’s really good with his in-steps, his releases, and stuff like that. I kind of wanted to get better at that,” Reed said. “And he just wanted to get better at running out of routes, being fast and stuff like that. We just coached each other up on those tips. Kind of dug in each other’s toolbox and helped each other out.”
Reed led the team with 64 receptions, 793 yards and 10 total touchdowns. Reed joined the likes of Sterling Sharpe, James Lofton, Billy Howton and Don Hutson as the only rookies to lead the team in receiving yards. He also smashed Sharpe’s franchise rookie record for receptions. According to Pro Football Focus, among the 20 rookie receivers who were targeted at least 20 times last season, Reed was second in passer rating while targeted and Wicks was third behind the Chiefs’ Rashee Rice . Reed was fourth in yards per route and Wicks was fifth .
