Former Gators have been making waves in the National Football League recently and early on this Week 2 Sunday the highlights are rolling in. The latest former UF player getting in on the action is San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed.
In the second quarter of a game against the New York Jets — who feature a pair of superb former Florida defensive backs in Marcus Maye and Brian Poole — Reed caught a pass from Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo at about the 14-yard line near the left sideline on a play that began at the 18-yard marker and scampered into the end zone with a leaping dive towards the left endzone pylon. The touchdown added six points to San Fran’s 7-3 lead and kicker Robbie Gould added a PAT to up the score to 14-7.

Reed is now in his seventh year in the NFL and first with the 49ers after spending his first six professional seasons with the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.
