GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers receivers Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks can shake opposing defensive backs, but they couldn’t shake each other.
They met at the 2023 Senior Bowl. A month later, they connected again at the Scouting Combine. They also crossed paths on predraft visits.
In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Packers selected Reed in the second round and Wicks in the fifth round.
“It all makes sense that we’re here together,” Reed said at Packers OTAs on Wednesday.
As the offense got humming down the stretch, thanks in large part to their increasing comfort and production, Reed and Wicks discussed training together during the offseason.
