Is Jayden Reed actually the Packers top receiver?

A week ago, Adam Schefter reported the Packers had met with Jayden Reed following their decision to select Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. According to Schefter, the Packers assured Reed that he would remain a key part of their offense, and that choosing Golden “will not affect Reed’s status as its top receiver.”

It’s easy to see why Reed might be worried. Golden, by and large, appears a virtual clone of Reed. It’s easy to see how Reed might wonder how they could coexist, especially considering that the Packers are pretty inflexible with how they use him.
