Jaylen Reed

Plays slot CB for the Nittany Lions. Very good frame and size with solid, well-distributed mass. Good length and reach. Very fluid and smooth with the agility to handle two-way goes out of the slot. Very active in run support. Very good tackler who seems to relish contact. Matches up well with TEs and most WRs operating out of the slot. Displays the ability to stay in-phase in man coverage with most TEs and WRs. Very effective in zone coverage where he can read the QB’s eyes and jump the route. Only average ball production with five INTs and four passes defensed over the last two seasons. Reliable, open field tackler who breaks down well in space.
