If it were this simple, every receiver would be 6’3+.

If he has good hands and runs good routes, then he’s a good prospect. We know he’s a good athlete and he has serviceable speed.

I mean…do we know that?

Well, according to Taco and Vigen, Reed is a good athlete.

Maybe, but this shows his desire to stick around, not pout and transfer because he may get buried on the depth chart at QB. A team player and guy who wants to play and contribute no matter how. My kind of Bobcat football player. Go get some JR!

Averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds his senior year of high school. Probably runs a sub 4.6 40 based on running 4.68 in high school. IMO that’s pretty athletic. Just the fact that he signed here to play quarterback almost says he’s athletic by itself.

Agreed!
Wow, this is so refreshing to read. Much respect for Jordan and his decision to find a way to get on the field and help his team win, any way he can. Great attitude and not unprecedented, Troy, Tommy, etc. Do whatever it takes to play and help the team. Go Jordan, big red zone target!
Go Cats!

Do you have any idea how fast a sub 4.6 is?

[BelligerentBobcat]

I’m not saying Reed isn’t athletic, he very well might be, I just don’t think we’ve seen anything on the field that says we know he is athletic enough to be a capable receiver. That’s all.

[MSU01]

I’m not saying Reed isn’t athletic, he very well might be, I just don’t think we’ve seen anything on the field that says we know he is athletic enough to be a capable receiver. That’s all.

We might not have seen it but if the coaching staff decided to make this move in the first place then I think it's safe to say that they have. To me the greater question would be if he can develop the other skills a successful receiver needs to have on top of the size and athleticism.

awesome double passes.

Please give it a break. You have absolutely no information that says otherwise, but you feel the strange need to question this kid’s athleticism.

Do you have any idea how fast a sub 4.6 is?

No, but it’s faster than Jerry Rice who ran a 4.71. A 4.68 is a sign of good athleticism. That’s what Reed ran in high school and I’d guess he’s below that now.
Basketball is probably the one sport that requires the most athletic ability on average. Being 6-6 and agile and coordinated enough to put up the numbers he did is a strong sign of athleticism. Quarterbacks are often among the most athletic players in football, which is why football coaches sign them and move them to different positions.
But, you’re right “WE don’t know” exactly how athletic he is, which is true for a majority of the players on the team.
Additionally, no one knows how this going to work out but people don’t typically look at a move like this and speculate about how it’s NOT going to work out. I certainly don’t expect him to start this year. He could fail and enter the portal or go play hoops at a Frontier school for all we know.
No one has baptized him the next Harold Carmichael. People are just having fun with the possibilities of this move. We see players change positions and succeed once in a while, we like our players and we hope for the best so we like to look at the positives of what could come of this move. I’m not sure why that triggered you.

[Mtcatfan]

Now add a 41” vertical.

Go Cats!

This is my take too! He wants to be a part of the team and is willing to learn a new position to make that happen. Credit to him! Now for those who feel the need to question whether he can hack it, give the kid a chance. At least he's not taking his ball and going home, or off to "greener" pastures. I think this is excellent, and he should be commended and supported!

All I’m saying is that it’s not something we definitively know. I’m not questioning his athleticism, I’m questioning our knowledge of what it is.

Triggered? Lol. Some people like to use that whenever they get questioned. It’s pretty cute.

Anyways, I hope he does great too. Always awesome to have good players. But as an FYI, hand timed 40’s from coaches mean literally nothing. We’ve seen lots of players come in here with claimed 4.4 40’s and they weren’t anywhere close to that. Heck, Jaharie Martin came in at 6’0 and magically shrunk a couple inches. I’ll be done now, but literally all I’m saying is that while Reed may be a good athlete for a WR, we don’t know that yet.

[catatac]

I think several posters have provided enough evidence to conclude that Reed is in fact, athletic. So there's one question answered. Will he end up being a stud receiver for the Cats? TBD.

Not sure why you feel the need to piss on the rice crispies. The head coach and his teammates have commented about his athleticism. He's a proven solid hoops player and he has great size. Are you just assuming that the head coach and his teammates are just stroking his ego?

I think I’m just poorly trying to communicate that we don’t actually know and won’t know until we see him in the field. Not negative, just being realistic.

Well, that’s exactly what I did: answer your question.

“Triggered” means that you’re put off by a comment or opinion that someone has, among other things. It’s especially noticeable when that opinion or comment is fairly innocuous if not entirely understandable.

Your communication skills are poor and I’m glad that you’re developing the self awareness to notice that. It will save you from these kinds of humiliating discussions in the future.

No one said Reed is such an incredible athlete that they think he’s a lock to start. Everyone probably has a similar take to yours of his ability to become a WR here. Fans tend to look for how it might work. Especially on a team like this one where it’s loaded with good athletes and has a history of moving players to new positions with great payoffs. Especially the QBs.
