A Local Visit as the Giants Prep for the 2025 Draft.
The New York Giants continue to lay the groundwork for the 2025 NFL Draft. As part of their ongoing evaluations, the team is hosting a mix of top 30 and local visits. On Monday, they welcomed a potential depth addition—Penn State safety Jaylen Reed.
Reed shared his excitement on Instagram, posting a photo from inside the Giants’ facility. NFL insider Mike Garofalo noted that Reed also has visits lined up with the Lions, Eagles, Ravens, and Jets.
Who is Jaylen Reed?
Reed is widely seen as a Day 2 prospect. His stock is solid thanks to a strong senior season at Penn State. He led the defense with 98 total tackles, including 51 solo. He also posted 2.5 sacks, three interceptions, a forced fumble, three passes defensed, and even scored a touchdown. That kind of production stands out on tape.
At 6’0″, Reed has good athleticism and enough strength to handle NFL competition. His speed is serviceable, though scouts have raised concerns about his spatial awareness and coverage range. The good news? These are coachable traits, especially in the right system.
A Smart Move to Build Depth.
The Giants’ secondary struggled in 2024, but the front office has taken steps to improve the unit in free agency. Still, adding more talent through the draft wouldn’t be surprising. Reed could be a developmental piece who adds depth and special teams value while growing into a larger role.
As the visits continue and the draft nears, it’s clear the Giants are keeping their options open. Jaylen Reed might just be another piece of the puzzle.
