The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived former Georgia Bulldogs safety J.R. Reed. Reed was quite a productive player for the University of Georgia, but went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft. Now, he’ll look to stick with the Jaguars practice squad or sign elsewhere.
J.R.’s father, Jake, played in the NFL. It is a tough year for unproven players to make a roster. With the lack of preseason games, shortened training camp, and unusual protocols, it is even more challenging than most seasons to make the roster as an undrafted player.
J.R. was a playmaker in Athens, but there were concerns about his athletic profile heading into the NFL Draft. Reed has impressive instincts and deserves another opportunity. We’ll update you on what is next for Reed.
Here’s the full list of Jacksonville’s roster moves today, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
