Packers WR Jayden Reed sets team rookie receptions record

With his second reception against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, wide receiver Jayden Reed surpassed Sterling Sharpe for the Green Bay Packers rookie catch record.

This record held by Sharpe had stood since 1988, when he hauled in 55 receptions for 791 yards and a touchdown.

The reception that broke the record was a quick pass behind the line of scrimmage that went for no gain. But on the very next play, Reed ran a deep post, splitting the Minnesota coverage to get behind the safeties, and Jordan Love hit him for the 33-yard touchdown on a beautiful throw.
