I do have a question though, I know people were comparing Reed to AH back when that all went down but why do you believe he has attitude problems? I have not ever heard this as being a problem for him and when you think of how he made the transition from QB ( why he was recruited to FL ) to TE/HB/hybrid player with pretty good success. It would seem to me he is a hard worker who slipped due to his raw ability and the perceived ability of those players selected ahead of him in the draft.

I'm not predicting it's going to happen, it's just something I've been wondering about. But, there are a few things that have made me wonder. Jordan Reed says he learned to play TE by watching Aaron Hernandez play. Now, that probably doesn't mean much, but still...

Reed also had attitude problems at Florida, which put him on the bench a few times. He's complained about how hard the Redskins' playbook is, and he's also voiced his displeasure that the team has so many meetings. Like I said, I'm not saying it's going to happen, but there is the possibility.

When did he complain about the playbook or voice his displeasure about too many meetings?

This is my bad. I should have checked my sources before I posted that, and made sure I was 100% right. I heard this from a guy on another Redskins board, and I took it as fact. In his words,

He seems really defensive when he's interviewed. He was very surprised about all of the meetings he had to attend during the OTAs. He also mentioned that the playbook is very complicated and it is the coaching staff's responsibility to "coach him up". That doesn't sound to me like he is used to taking personal initiative. He was benched at Florida several times for having attitude problems. Maybe its a "me first" thing, or maybe he has problems with authority.

He posted basically the same thing twice, but said he couldn't find the video in which Reed was interviewed.

I'll search for it.
