An undrafted lineman out of Western Kentucky, Jordan Meredith worked his way from the practice squad to the Raiders' starting center job before a late-season ankle injury cut his 2025 short.
Jordan Meredith's NFL story is one of steady development. After going unselected in the 2021 draft and bouncing off the Rams' roster, he found a home in Las Vegas, where years of interior line reps culminated in a 2025 season as the team's starting center.
Path to the league
Meredith played five seasons at Western Kentucky before going undrafted in 2021. The Los Angeles Rams signed him that spring but released him before the season started. He signed with the Raiders in February 2022 and has been with the organization ever since, working his way up from the practice squad.
Career highlights
Meredith's breakthrough came in 2024, when injuries along Las Vegas's offensive line pushed him into extended action at both guard spots. Playing 14 games with eight starts, he allowed a pressure on just 5.6 percent of his pass-blocking snaps and surrendered only 1.5 sacks, the fewest of any Raiders offensive lineman that season.
2025 season recap
Meredith moved to center in 2025 and won the starting job, opening the season by starting the team's first 11 games. His season ended early when he was placed on season-ending injured reserve on December 22, 2025, due to an ankle injury.
