What theyβre sayingβ¦
βI think he's done a good job. He's kind of been really our go-to guy with the high catch total. He's so flexible that you can match him up on the outside, on the inside, do some multiple things with him. And I think it shows that he's grown because you've seen us put him in a lot of different positions, so I give him a lot of credit for that.β (12/19/12)
Brent Pease, UF offensive coordinator
Β
βReed's late fumble at Georgia should not overshadow his emergence as Florida's best weapon in the passing game. Reed has wide receiver skills at 6-foot-3, 243 pounds, making him a fit for NFL offenses increasingly reliant on tight ends in the passing game. The sure-handed Reed has 38 catches on 49 targets and averages 12 yards a reception.β (11/15/12)
Edgar Thompson, Orlando Sentinel
(After the Louisiana win): βHeβs a big-time player for us. We always know we can count him and he showed that with that catch and a lot of other ones he has made for us.β (11/11/12)
Sharrif Floyd, UF defensive tackle
Β
(After the Louisiana win): βIt feels a lot different. Two weeks ago I lost the game for us and this week I made a play to help us win.β (11/11/12)
Jordan Reed, UF tight end
Β
βQB Jeff Driskel doesn't have one go-to WR, so he looks Reed's way often, especially in the red zone.β (10/24/12)
Daniel Lewis, CBSSports.com
Β
"He is a big target in those short-yardage situations and can make plays for us. He is one our top weapons." (10/21/12)
Frankie Hammond, UF wide receiver
Β
"The defense has to account for him. They have to know where he is at all times. Football is about mismatches and he is definitely a mismatch.β (10/21/12)
Jeff Driskel, UF quarterback
Β
βHeβs one of their big weapons. Heβll be playing in the NFL one day.β (9/13/12)
Derek Dooley, former Tennessee Head Coach
Β
βHeβs developing tremendously. Heβs learning. Heβs doing a great job in the run game. Heβs got good hands. Heβs coming along, you know? He provides a big opportunity for us to be able to put him in a lot of spots.β (9/12/12)
Brent Pease, UF offensive coordinator
Β
βHe looks like a perfect fit for the system of new offensive coordinator Brent Pease.β (9/12/12)
Jason Lieser, The Palm Beach Post
Β
βHeβs definitely a matchup problem if they have to bring down linebackers or safeties on him. Iβll take him one-on-one with anybody.β (9/12/12)
Jeff Driskel, UF quarterback
Β
βHe needs to continue to play well for us to play well offensively, because heβs a very important part of what weβre doing.β (9/12/12)
Will Muschamp, UF Head Coach
Β
βJordanβs arrow has been pointed up for over a month now. [...] On and off the field, every day Jordan with us has been pointing up. It makes it easier now because now you can coach him harder. I always coach people hard to start off with, but you can squeeze them more because when they have some success theyβre willing to take even harder criticism and that makes them better. The harder you get on them without them going in the tank, the better off they play. Jordan has got a very high ceiling that hasnβt even come close to being reached yet.β (11/15/11)
Charlie Weis, former UF offensive coordinator
Β
βVertical passing game; heβs a guy that can stretch the field. Heβs a guy that blocks well at the point of attack, but heβs also a guy you have to account for in the passing game, heβs an accomplished receiver.β (9/26/11)
Will Muschamp, UF Head Coach
Β
βHeβs going to be a huge weapon. Heβs one of the best athletes out there on the field. Weβre going to put him in positions to make plenty of plays. Heβs just going to go out there and keep going hard every play.β (8/29/11)
John Brantley, former UF quarterback
βWeβve put him back there (at punt returner) and we feel comfortable about it. Heβs got great ball judgment, catches the ball extremely well. I think as we progress through this, weβll see how much weβre able to do with itβ¦ We said, βLetβs give it a shot,β and the first time back there he sucks everything up. Heβs very natural. Itβs a knack and a toughness. That guy is looking up and those guys are coming hard down on you. Youβve got to have a guy who has guts, and he certainly has that.β (8/13/11)
Will Muschamp, UF Head Coach
βJordan Reed is one of the best athletes on our team. Having him at tight end creates mis-matches on linebacker and weβre excited about that. Heβs bought into that position.β (8/9/11)
John Brantley, former UF quarterback
βHeβs a freak athlete. I think we did it right. Hindsight is 20-20 how weβre pushing him into this offense. Obviously you can see what a dynamic runner [he] is; heβs got a nice arm. We donβt have that big runner β and he gives us that. [β¦ ] Heβs tight end and quarterback. Heβll be a single-wing quarterback and a tight end for us.β (11/6/10)
Urban Meyer, former UF Head Coach
βIβm just trying to do the best I can. I just try to play as hard as I can. Every other quarterback is just as good if not better. Itβs a team game. I just try my hardest in everything I do. I miss playing QB a little bit. I donβt know where Iβm at on the depth chart. I just go out and play.ββ (11/6/10)
Jordan Reed, UF tight end
Β
βYouβd have to be blind not to see that he can run real fast, jump real high and heβs got great lower body strength. He can catch real well. Players like to play. He doesnβt want to sit and watch. Heβs too talented of a young man to sit and watch for another year. Heβs got too much ability. That would be a travesty, when he can be helping this football team win games, which is what heβs going to do this year.ββ (8/15/10)
Brian White, UF Running Backs Coach
βHe's going to be very fun to watch this year. I can't wait to watch him in The Swamp. He's going to do some special things. He's such a dynamic athlete; we as coaches get selfish and want to put the ball in his hands as much as possible. He's going to have a major role on this football team this fall." (8/6/10)
Brian White, UF Running Backs Coach
βJordan Reed, the former quarterback, is having an excellent spring and has been one of the Gatorsβ most consistent offensive playmakers. Reed also has had some success playing quarterback in UFβs Wildcat package.β (4/1/10)
Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun
βHe continues to improve. Heβs a dynamic athlete. Iβve been really pleased with him. Heβs a real dynamic athlete and route runner. He has very rare skills. Weβve got to put him in a position where he can really play fast and not have to think, kind of limit the menu a little bit early and just get him to be a very efficient football player.β (4/1/10)
Brian White, UF Running Backs Coach
