Slot receiver Jakobi Meyers versus boundary receiver Jakobi Meyers

Versatility is a big aspect of what makes Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers such an effective pass-catcher.

According to Pro Football Focus, 50.9 percent of Meyers’ career snaps have been as a slot receiver and 48.6 percent have been on the boundary, with a handful of reps coming as a tight end or in the backfield to account for the additional half a percent.

Building on that, when new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was asked about Meyers during the Raiders’ OTAs, the wideout’s ability to play both receiver positions was the first thing the coach mentioned.
