New England Patriots Head Coach, Bill Belichick compared talented WR, Jakobi Meyers, with one of his former Super Bowl-winning heroes, Julian Edelman. The 70-year-old coach said Meyers, who came as a rookie free agent, has done enough to impress him. The experienced coach lauded the 25-year-old for his hard work.

“It’s really fun to see guys develop like that. Come in and not be very far along but then progressively just keep stacking, and stacking, and stacking and stacking,” Belichick said. However, the coach added he does not mean to say both are the same players.

Jakobi Meyers is looking bright after his injury break

Earlier, Meyers missed a couple of games with a knee injury. He returned to action in the 29-0 win against the Lions. The young talent made a significant mark in that game, with his first 100-yard receiving game, of the season. 

It was a game where he took seven catches on eight targets for 111 yards. The talented youngster also scored the only offensive touchdown of the game. He captured a 24-yard pass from Bailey Zappe, to sum up, a great show. 

Former Super Bowl winner, Julian Edelman, has played 12 seasons for the Patriots. He is the second wide receiver to win the Super Bowl MVP. Edelman joined the Patriots as a seventh-round converted QB. He made his mark in the fifth pro season.
