Brave performance from Jayden Reed. The Michigan State wide receiver goes all out at the NFL Scouting Combine despite battling a serious eye infection

This college ace is tough.

Wide receiver Jayden Reed competed at the NFL Scouting Combine despite a serious eye infection and did well.

Even before his appearance, NFL insider Ian Rapoport had tweeted, “Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed is dealing with a severe eye infection so bad that one eye is almost completely closed. But he has decided to compete on the same stage as all the other players and get a full workout at the Combine. “

The rookie confirmed the report with a picture of his damaged-looking eye and the words, “I can confirm that.”
Despite the massive impairment, the 22-year-old completed the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds, leaving most of the other receivers behind. Reed, on the other hand, struggled a bit in the jumping drills and ended up at the back of the receiver field.

Despite the massive impairment, the 22-year-old completed the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds, leaving most of the other receivers behind. Reed, on the other hand, struggled a bit in the jumping drills and ended up at the back of the receiver field.

Reed, meanwhile, wore black sunglasses to his media interviews and declared he wasn’t trying to be “Ric Flair or anything.”

In three seasons at Michigan State, he caught 147 passes for 2,069 yards and 18 touchdowns.
