Veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers landed in Jacksonville as part of a midseason trade in 2025.
Now, the 29-year-old NFL pass catcher is entering his first full season as a member of the Jaguars franchise.
Meyers is a veteran leader for a talented wide receiver room featuring Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Travis Hunter and more. And as the Jaguars gear up for their 2026 NFL campaign, Meyers is impressed by what he's seen from Jacksonville's "well-balanced" WR depth chart.

"We have a very well-balanced room," Meyers said, via the team's official website. "That's top down: Rookies, undrafted guys. All the way through, we have guys who are smart, first and foremost, who understand what they're doing. And then second, can make a bunch of plays. So, I think we're in a good spot."

"The guys really have been taking their jobs very seriously. They're real professional," he added. "They help me more than I feel like I'm helping them right now. So, that's just a testament to them. The young guys are doing really great and I just think they're ready. They're ready to play ball. They're ready to get out there and show what they could do for real.
Through nine game appearances with the Jaguars in 2025, Meyers reeled in 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns. He finished the year as Trevor Lawrence's third-leading wide receiver target, trailing only Washington and Thomas.
The Jaguars will open up their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 13.
