Top 10 undrafted NFL free agents who could make an early impact

#10 Jakobi Meyers, WR, N.C. State with the Patriots

The Patriots seem to find those lesser-known names among the undrafted free agents every year and they end up catching 30 passes or so every year. I could easily see Meyers surpass that number and be a great contributor for New England.

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady will love the all-around skill-set Meyers brings to the table. He doesn’t mind doing the dirty work as a blocker for his teammates, he fights back towards the ball and he made several tough catches over the middle on third down for the Wolfpack. We also know Brady loves throwing the ball in-between the numbers and Meyers led all draft-eligible receivers with 86 catches out of the slot last season.

There are some athletic limitations, but Meyers wins with not being afraid to throwing his body around holding onto the catches. He should win some offensive snaps via special teams and fit right in as a slot receiver. The Patriots got another one and you almost know he will make a few big catches for them throughout the year.
