Jakobi Meyers dealt with shoulder issues in 2022. He had a concussion. He played through a lingering knee injury. He saw action in 14 games total and still led the team in receiving yardage (804) and touchdowns (6). He was second in receptions (67), behind only running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
It wasn't Meyers' best season. His catches and yardage totals dropped after a career year in 2021. But given what he dealt with physically, it was one of his most impressive.
Makes sense then that Meyers was selected as the recipient of the 2022 Ed Block Courage Award for the Patriots this week, an honor given to a player from each NFL team "who best exemplifies the principles of courage and sportsmanship while also serving as a symbol of professionalism and dedication.
