Pack Pros: WR Jakobi Meyers finds end zone again in Las Vegas Raiders win

After he scored a touchdown in two of the Las Vegas Raiders’ first five games of the season, Pack Pro wide receiver Jakobi Meyers went seven contests without a score. But that changed in the penultimate game of the regular season. 

Meyers scored on a 3-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Aiden O’Connell in the second quarter of the Raiders’ 25-10 win over the New Orleans Saints, which gave Las Vegas the lead and it never looked back from there. 

The former NC State standout finished the game with 5 receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. He now has 78 catches for 904 yards with 3 touchdowns this season, his second with the Raiders. 

While Meyers scored again, he wasn’t the only NC State Pack Pro in action this week. Here’s a look at how each Pack Pro did in their respective NFL games in Week 17.
