Packer's second-year wide receiver, Jaden Reed, is listed on NFL.com's All Breakout Team for 2024.

Analyst Bucky Brooks lists Reed as one of three wide receivers bound to break out in the coming season.

He already led Green Bay in receiving during the 2023 season with 64 catches for 793 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Brooks sees him as possibly emerging as quarterback Jordan Loves number one option.

He compares Reed to Randall Cobb.

NFL.com says the only reason Reed might not break out into a star is competition from the other talented whiteouts on the Packer's roster.
