Patriots Twitter reacts to Jakobi Meyers’ ridiculous diving touchdown reception

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers continues to make the New England Patriots regret letting him walk in free agency.

On Thursday night, he hauled in a ridiculous diving touchdown reception on a 3rd-and-2 from Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell. The touchdown put the Raiders up 14-0 on the Chargers in a primetime game.

Meyers signed with New England as an undrafted rookie back in 2019. He worked his way up from a roster bubble player to the team’s No. 1 receiving target.

Patriots Twitter was once again riled up after the highlight reel touchdown considering coach Bill Belichick essentially signed JuJu Smith-Schuster for the same base deal the Raiders offered Meyers.
