Michigan State WR Jayden Reed weighs NFL options after historic season with Payton Thorne

ATLANTA — If it was the last time they play together, Jayden Reed and Payton Thorne went out on a high note.

But the door is not closed to one more go-round for the former middle school and high school teammates with Michigan State football.

Reed caught a pair of touchdowns from Thorne to earn Peach Bowl offensive most valuable player honors, finishing with six grabs for 80 yards in the 10th-ranked Spartans’ 31-21 comeback win over No. 12 Pitt on Thursday.

Earlier in the week, Reed said he would answer questions about whether he planned to return for his senior season in 2022 or enter the NFL draft after the game.
