Reliable possession receiver who joined Jacksonville at the 2025 trade deadline and signed a long-term deal to stay.
Jakobi Meyers went from undrafted converted quarterback to one of the league's steadier chain-moving receivers. After breaking in with New England and starring for the Raiders, he was traded to Jacksonville in November 2025. He signed a three-year extension with the Jaguars in December 2025.
Path to the league
Meyers arrived at NC State as a quarterback before switching to receiver after his freshman year. He emerged as the Wolfpack's top target, posting five 100-yard games as a senior in 2018. He went undrafted in 2019 and signed with New England, where he developed into a dependable starter.
Career highlights
Built a reputation as a sure-handed possession receiver across stints with the Patriots and Raiders. Known for high catch rates and reliable third-down production rather than deep-ball volume. The Jaguars valued that profile enough to lock him up after acquiring him.
2025 season
Jacksonville acquired Meyers from the Raiders on November 4, 2025, in exchange for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks, per reporting. After the trade he posted 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets over nine games. He signed a three-year, $60 million extension with the Jaguars on December 19, 2025.
