With Rashan Gary out for the rest of the season, Preston Smith hurting and Kenny Clark fading, the Green Bay Packers needed someone to emerge as a pass-rusher, and it appears veteran Jarran Reed is willing and capable.
Over the last three games, Reed ranks eighth among defensive linemen in total pressures (10) and second in quarterback hits (six), per PFF, and he now has 20 total pressures this season, good for the fourth-most on the Packers defense.
Reed is starting to win more and more, and his pressures late against the Dallas Cowboys helped provide huge stops as Matt LaFleur’s team mounted a comeback and eventually won in overtime.
