Alabama led Georgia 24-14 at halftime, largely due to their effective third-down conversions, which frustrated Georgia's defense, as Kirby Smart acknowledged their struggles in getting off the field on third down and highlighted Alabama's superior execution and quarterback performance.
The Green Bay Packers drafted Jayden Reed, a dynamic slot receiver out of Michigan State, in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Reed's skillset will allow him to help the Packers convert on third downs, which is something they struggled with last season. He has the ability to extend catches into explosive plays and contribute alongside Keisean Nixon in the return game. The pick was seen as a good value and Reed has the potential to join the ranks of other successful second-round wideouts drafted by the Packers.
