Former Georgia safety J.R. Reed surprisingly did not get selected in the 2020 NFL Draft but quickly signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Reed wore #20 during his years at Georgia, and according to the Jaguars’ official website, he will don #30 in Jacksonville.
The fact Reed went undrafted was a huge head scratcher. He started every game at safety for Georgia from 2017-2019 and was named to the Associated Press All-SEC second team (2017) and Walter Camp All-America first team (2019).
Apparently, the reason Reed went undrafted was thanks to a torn ACL he suffered while at Prestonwood Christian High School in Plano, Texas.
