Reed, Ryland, Jones headline transferred MAC stars selected in 2023 NFL Draft

In the age of the transfer portal, the colleges listed at the NFL Draft don’t necessarily tell a player’s entire journey to the NFL. Many of the 2023 draft selections had several stops before hearing their name called in Kansas City this weekend.

The Mid-American Conference was credited with seven draft picks, but several other standouts with ties to the league were also selected:

Jayden Reed, WR

Selected by Green Bay Packers, Round 2, Pick 50

  • Western Michigan (2018)
  • Michigan State (2019-22)
NCAA Football: Syracuse at Western Michigan

Reed launched his college career in Kalamazoo where he instantly made a name for himself as one of the most dangerous receivers in the MAC.
