An ex-receiver who knows Jakobi's 'pain'

Oct. 27—FOXBOROUGH — Jakobi Meyers meet your "brother from another mother," Bobby Wade.

Technically speaking, Meyers doesn't know Wade, a 7-year NFL veteran wide receiver, drafted in the fifth round out of the University of Arizona.

In other ways, though, they are kindred spirits.

Meyers has been in the news lately for his "assault" on the NFL record book.

He is the NFL's all-time leader among wide receivers in receptions (126) and yards (1,478) to start a career ... without a touchdown.

Ten days ago against the Dallas Cowboys he appeared to end the streak, hauling in a 25-yard touchdown reception, taking a big hit in doing so.
