The Los Angeles Rams have signed former Georgia Bulldogs safety J.R. Reed to their practice squad. Reed was a first team Walter Camp All-American last season for the University of Georgia.
Reed went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft, despite his impressive accolades. He originally signed an undrafted deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they cut him before the season.
Now, Reed will be reunited with former UGA defensive back Tyrique McGhee on the Los Angeles practice squad. Reed has the instincts and skill to compete in the NFL, but his physical traits have been questioned.
For Los Angeles Rams fans who are unfamiliar with J.R. Reed, they should know that they are landing a playmaker. Reed forced seven total turnovers in three seasons with Georgia. He racked up 199 tackles during this time. He’s a veteran, who played in 42 games throughout his decorated college career.
The Los Angeles Rams announced the signing of J.R. Reed via their official Twitter account.
