Jakobi Meyers has a good tutor in the New England Patriots offense. Even if Julian Edelman isn’t sitting down one-on-one with Meyers to him learn and excel in the offense, Meyers need only peak at Edelman’s methodology — on the practice field, in the film room and during meetings — to understand how to succeed in the NFL.
Their stories are quite similar, after all. Edelman was a sixth-round pick. Meyers went undrafted. Edelman played quarterback at Kent State. Meyers started at quarterback before converting to receiver at NC State. When they hit the NFL, they both found ways to contribute in the slot while progressing at the outside positions.
