According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed is meeting with the San Francisco 49ers.

Reed (5-11, 187) registered 55 receptions for 636 yards and five touchdowns through 11 game appearances as a senior in 2022, per Sports Reference. He caught 203 passes for 2,866 yards with 26 touchdowns through his four collegiate seasons.

"Utility wideout with the ability to take snaps at multiple receiver positions while offering both kickoff and punt return talent," wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com in the player's scouting report. "Reed looks smaller in many of his matchups, but he is rarely deterred by size. He's too tight-hipped for stop-start routes on the tree, but he operates with good route speed and should improve his ability to separate with additional development and experience on the next level. His ball skills and feel for positioning on deep throws and jump balls are unquestioned. Limiting his focus drops on short and intermediate throws will be critical to becoming a long-term NFL contributor."

Reed is from Naperville, IL. He earned a pre-draft grade of 5.98 from NFL.com, which equates to an "average backup or special-teams player," per the site's 8-point grading scale.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Reed had a 40-time of 4.45 seconds, a vertical jump of 33.5 inches, a broad jump of 121 inches, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.29 seconds. His other measurables include an arm length of 30 1/2 inches and hands measuring 9 1/8 inches.
