Jakobi Meyers surprises Pats fans with a TD pass

Let’s go back to Meyers’ touchdown pass. The Patriots turned to a quarterback-turned-wideout for a nice play late in the second quarter of their game against Baltimore. Patriots were trailing 10-7 with 1:10 left before halftime. Meyers received a lateral from Newton to the left side and released a nice pass to running back Rex Burkhead in the end zone. It was a beautiful touchdown. Burkhead had to adjust his route to make the delivery.

Next Gen Stats reveal that Meyers’ pass had an air distance of 43.6. This is the second-longest air distance by a Patriot in 2020. Newton delivered 54.4 yards to Edelman in Week 2. Meyers’ pass was also the longest on a touchdown.

The talented wideout was a high school quarterback who joined NC State but became a receiver in his redshirt freshman season in 2016. Meyers grew up in Georgia and made the all-star team of Newton’s charitable foundation. In other words, Newton and Meyers have been working together for a few years.

Patriots use Edelman in such trick plays. He was a quarterback at Kent State and then became a wideout with the Patriots. The team placed him on injured reserve.
