Antonio Pierce Has High Praise for Jakobi Meyers
The Raiders may have one of the more underrated wide receiver rooms in the NFL right now. Davante Adams is a well-known star but not many talk about Jakobi Meyers as one of the top No. 2 wide receivers in the league.
He has three straight seasons of over 800 receiving yards and has earned high praise from head coach Antonio Pierce.
“Jakobi is that guy,” Pierce said during a June 13 press conference. “When you say I need a dog, Jakobi is that dog. Jakobi is an alpha. Jakobi is fearless. Jakobi works probably as hard as any player on our team. You saw this last year, his commitment in the run game speaks volumes because he could be easily a 100 reception and 1,000-yard receiver, but it’s all those other things. It’s those crack back blocks, it’s those hits on the D-end, the linebacker, getting his nose bloody, rolling up his sleeves, flexing on guys, setting the tone.
