Jakobi Meyers: Jaguars' Reliable WR Steal

0:00On March 28, pro football focus just dropped the list of the top mid-to-late round wide receiver steals from the last 10 NFL Drafts and Jacksonville. Jaguar star Jacobi Myers made the cut as a true gem. Undrafted out of North Carolina State back in 2019, he kicked off his pro career with the New England Patriots and his since-blown-up. In college, Myers mostly worked a slot, hauling in 146 passes for 1,700 yards and 9 touchdowns over his final two seasons. But he evolved fast into a versatile receiver, handling outside targets like a boss, with a 91.7 pf grade on those plays the last. Two years, Jaguars fans and coaches love how he fits right into Liam Cohen's offense attacking the middle, blocking in the run game and bringing rock solid hands to a receiver room that battled drops early last season. Fans of Coordinator Cohen called out his immediate impact after the trade from the Raiders before last year's deadline.

1:02Since joining Jaguars in 2024, Myers has snagged 163 catches for 1,874 yards across both teams with the league's fourth best drop rate at 2.3%. He posted 43 receptions for 495 yards and three scores with the Jags alone, then locked in a contract extension laden the year. That kind of reliability keeps opening doors for the rest of the passing attack, making Myers a cornerstone as the Jaguars build momentum heading into the next draft season.
