Pack Pros: Jakobi Meyers eclipses 100 yards for first time this season

It had been nearly two years since NC State Pack Pro wide receiver Jakobi Meyers logged a 100-yard receiving game in the NFL. But the wideout was able to finally break past the century mark in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 41-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals this past weekend. 

Meyers caught eight passes for 105 yards, his most since a 111-yard game in the 2022 season, as the wideout was targeted 11 times in the defeat. He has now caught 39 passes for 430 yards and two touchdowns this season with the Raiders. 

The wide receiver wasn’t the only former NC State Pack Pro in action this past weekend. Here’s how each player did in their respective NFL games during Week 9.
