For those of you who have followed the off season much more closely than me. Sell me on why Meyers isn’t another Tyms, Bam Childress, Chris Harris (muffed punt guy? May have the name wrong).
We’ve gone through many pre season stud wide outs that didn’t amount to anything.
Basically the main difference is the guys above had little (if any) work on the first team. Meyers led the first team in receptions and catch percentage in training camp. That’s a good sign. Only Thompkins saw extensive first team work.
He’s also dominating the preseason. He has 12 receptions + two 2 PT conversions through 2 games with the next leading WR at 4 receptions. I checked briefly and no player has passed 15 receptions in the preseason going back to when they had data in 2013.
Meyers comparison remains Thompkins who developed a chemistry with Brady & beat first teamers at practice. That’s no guarentee he’ll pan out but there isn’t much comparison to the preseason 3rd team heroes of the past (Harper, Carr, Tyms, etc.)
