Reedy possesses an excellent skill set at the wide receiver position, but found himself entering a draft that was loaded at the position.
His big play and special teams ability are two reasons why it was likely he'd be signed immediately, if undrafted. In Atlanta he will instantly compete with one of the best receiving corps in the NFL. He should be able to learn in camp with the likes of Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Harry Douglas and work his way into the rotation.
Reedy is quick off the line and out of cuts. He possesses soft hands and is great at creating separation. But, he is undersized and often dropped passes which is hard to ignore. Joining a team that has such great depth at wide receiver means he may be auditioning for a job in the preseason elsewhere. His saving grace may be his special teams ability, which gives him a chance to hang on to a roster spot in Atlanta.
