There may be a whole bunch of NFL teams that end up sorry they didn’t bother with even a seventh-round draft selection on former NC State standout Jakobi Meyers. Meyers landed with the New England Patriots after going undrafted, and he’s only been turning heads in the time since.
He’s been excellent in camp, earning first-team reps in the process, and on Thursday night he continued to make a strong case for New England’s final 53-man roster. He hauled in a pair of touchdown grabs in the Patriots’ 31-3 blowout of the Lions.
Meyers led all Patriots receivers in catches (6), targets (8), receiving yards (69), and touchdowns (2).
