New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick gave high praise to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, comparing him to another former Patriots wideout: Julian Edelman.
Meyers and Edelman have followed similar career paths. Meyers went undrafted, while Edelman was selected in the seventh round. They both became key parts of the Patriots offense during their years in Foxborough. Edelman recorded 6,822 receiving yards during the course of his career, which spanned from 2009 to 2020.
