Las Vegas Raiders’ Edgar Bennett talks about the value of WR Jakobi Meyers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was one of the club’s most important signings last season.

Despite being in the same room as Davante Adams, one of the best wide receivers in all of football, Meyers was able to succeed and had his best season to date last year.

Meyer’s role will continue to be crucial next season, and not just because of his performance on the field.

Last week, Raiders wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett talked about Meyers’ value to his group.

I think he’s one of the best route runners in football, and I think he’ll continue to prove that day in and day out.”

Meyers spent his first four NFL seasons with the New England Patriots before joining the Raiders as a free agent last year.
