Jordan Reed, TE, Washington Redskins

Washington Redskins’ tight end Jordan Reed was on pace for an impressive rookie campaign in 2013 before suffering a season-ending concussion in game 10 of the 2013 NFL season. The former Florida TE caught 45 passes on 59 targets for 499 yards and three touchdowns, and was a huge part of Washington’s offense.

With a healthy Robert Griffin III under center this season, along with a new weapon in DeSean Jackson, Reed should again shine in the Redskins’ offense.

Jackson and Pierre Garcon will draw most of the coverage from opposing defenders, giving Reed the physical advantage over smaller corners in the slot.

I expect big things from the 24-year-old Reed this season.
