COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed is well aware that many see him as much more valuable as a runner than as a passer.

He spent the offseason working to change that.

“I know y’all have also heard it just like I’ve heard it: I’m not a passer,” he said. “But I feel like I’ve had tremendous growth in my passing this offseason. We’ve had some great receivers come in … I think I just feel a lot more confident back there. Finding ways to protect myself, knowing the offense a little bit better and just being confident as a quarterback.”

Reed started last season as Conner Weigman’s backup before earning the job in October. He threw for 1,864 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions and ran for 543 yards and another seven scores as the Aggies went 8-4.
