Redskins signed No. 85 overall pick TE Jordan Reed to a four-year contract.
A bit undersized at 6-foot-2, 236 pounds, Reed is a blocking-deficient pure pass catcher. That's why his 4.72 40-yard dash underwhelmed at the Combine. Alas, Reed adds a real receiving threat to a team with in-flux receiver and tight end corps, and has drawn looses comparisons to Aaron Hernandez. If Reed shows well as a rookie, the Redskins could decide to let Fred Davis walk next offseason. May 24 - 12:46 PM

Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad.

Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field.
May 5 - 1:17 PM

Redskins selected Florida TE Jordan Reed with the No. 85 overall pick.

Reed (6-foot-2 1/2, 236) caught 45 balls for 559 yards (12.4 YPR) and three touchdowns as a junior before declaring for the draft. A Dustin Keller-type tight end, Reed is undersized and fluid, though he disappointed at the Combine with a 4.72 forty. Reed isn't going to block anyone in the NFL and will have to be utilized creatively as a receiver only. He's high-quality insurance in case Fred Davis (Achilles) breaks down or walks as a free agent following this season.

After extensive study of Chip Kelly's Oregon offenses, NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes Florida TE Jordan Reed would be a fit for the Eagles.

The Eagles signed James Casey in free agency, but remain in pursuit of receivers and tight ends capable of creating mismatches in the pass game. Reed is a poor man's Aaron Hernandez. "I think (Kelly) wants athletic movement players," Cosell explained. "You want receiving tight ends because they give defenses matchup issues. Reed is an athletic mover with wide receiver traits."

After doing tape study of Florida TE Jordan Reed, NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes Reed is "very similar" to Aaron Hernandez.

Cosell believes Reed has a chance to be the next "Joker" tight end in the NFL, creating matchup problems for defenses. At 6-foot-2 1/2 and 236 pounds, Reed ran a 4.72 forty at the Combine, although he was "unofficially" timed as fast as 4.62. His ten-yard split was 1.63 seconds. At the 2010 Florida Pro Day, a 6-foot-2 1/3, 245-pound Hernandez ran 4.64 with a 1.65-second ten-yard split.
Mar 13 - 10:05 PM

Florida TE Jordan Reed ran forty times of 4.62 and 4.63 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Somehow, Reed's "official" forty time turned out to be 4.72. Fellow UF alum Aaron Hernandez ran 4.64. A "move" tight end, Reed stands just 6-foot-2 1/2, 236, but can get around the formation fluidly and stretch the field on intermediate and deep routes. He's a second- or third-round prospect.
Feb 23 - 1:54 PM

Florida TE Jordan Reed managed just 16 reps on the 225-pound bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Reed has pretty long arms at 33 inches, although he obviously has some developing to do. The underclassman entrant into the draft stands 6-foot-3, 236, just barely heavier than a wide receiver. Reed is expected to be a day-two pick.
