How Bill Belichick Discovered Jakobi Meyers Had Good Arm In Patriots Practice

Jakobi Meyers never dreamt of being on the receiving end of NFL passes. He wanted to throw them.

Fortunately for the wide receiver, the New England Patriots occasionally let him live out his fantasy.

Meyers is now a perfect 2-of-2 for 43 yards with two touchdown passes. He threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Patriots quarterback Cam Newton in Sunday’s 28-14 win over the New York Jets. Meyers also completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to running back Rex Burkhead in the Patriots’ Week 10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
