Jakobi Meyers 2019 Draft Profile<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jakobi Meyers<\/strong> was a three-sport star in high school and three-star quarterback coming out of <\/span>Arabia Mountain High School in Georgia. He was the 54th ranked dual-threat quarterback in the nation. Jakobi redshirted his freshman year in 2015 as a quarterback after undergoing knee surgery. A week before the 2016 season, the coaches decided to change his position to wide receiver. He played the entire season and added depth to the receiving corps, contributing 13 catches for 158 yards. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meyers burst onto the scene in 2017 with 63 catches for 727 yards and added five touchdowns. He led the team in receiving touchdowns playing primarily out the slot. Meyers surpassed 100 yards receiving on three separate occasions and played his best game on primetime vs Clemson in a thriller. His progress from the year prior to now earned him the team’s Most Improved Player award. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018 he broke 1,000 yards receiving joining fellow teammate, Kelvin Harmon<\/strong><\/a>. Meyers finished his junior season with 92 receptions, 1,047 yards receiving and four touchdowns. He was also voted first-team all-conference this season. Sharing the field with Harmon allowed for Meyers to be overshadowed at times. Despite not receiving the same attention as his teammate, he also offers a skill set that will translate well to the NFL<\/span><\/p>\n
