Former All-ACC WR Jakobi Meyers has the Stickiest Hands in the NFL Since 2000

Former NC State All-ACC Wide Receiver hasn’t dropped a catch through 11 games this season.

That’s an insane statistic.

What makes it more insane, is that Meyers is the only receiver in the NFL since 2000 to have 0 drops with 95+ targets.

DAWG: #Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers is the only receiver in the entire #NFL since 2000 to have 95+ targets in a season and a drop percentage of 0.0%.

🤯

This is unbelievable.

Meyers is one of the must successful undrafted receivers in NFL history at this point. Yes, you read that correctly.

He’s 1 of only 5 undrafted players in NFL history to have 700+ yards receiving in 5 of their first 6 seasons, joining Antonio Gates, Drew Pearson, Gary Clark and Rob Moore.

Sunday, Raiders’ Jakobi Meyers became 1 of only 5 undrafted players in NFL history to hit 700 receiving yards in 5 of their first 6 seasons.
The others are Antonio Gates, Drew Pearson, Gary Clark and Rob Moore. Pretty good company.
